Welcome to Stephen J. Krasemann Art

Frame of Mind

The purpose of painting is not to produce a picture but to achieve that particular state of mind that one can attain while painting.

The Spring, 2012 issue of The Boundary Waters Journal has a five-page article/profile titled, STEPHEN J. KRASEMANN--FROM PIXELS TO PRINT. This is the result of a two session interview with the author, Jon Nelson.

I’ve just arrived back home after traveling the southern U.S. for the past six weeks. I was gathering painting reference and visiting with artist friends, framers and galleries. Although the trip was very hot, over 90 degrees Fahrenheit all across the Gulf states and over 100 degrees in Arizona, there were a lot of good memories from this trip.

Now I’ve got to get busy painting again. I’m instructing a wildlife painting workshop over the June 23-24 weekend at the Grand Marais Art Colony, Minnesota. Then, I’ve got to finish my fifth and final painting for the Ely Greenstone Juried Art Exhibition, showing from July 21-29 in Ely, Minnesota.

Thank you for visiting my website!

The need for creative expression has always been on my Life’s Agenda. I always thought the process of putting paint to board is magical and this thought permeates my painting. Imagine being part of a community that began with cave painting and continues today, where the paints and brushes have remained the same over the centuries. It’s such a privilege to see the world through the eyes of an artist.
