NICK KRAFT

Nick Kraft’s work is deeply influenced by the people and life events surrounding him. The passing of his grandfather, in particular, became a strong catalyst for painting; Nick’s creative process allows him to celebrate the artistic bond they shared. The surface of the painting is laid flat on the table and starting on the edge, he slowly works his way around the image adding forms in a linear spiral path until stopping in the center. Nick’s work relies on vibrant colors, shapes, brush strokes, and detailed patterns. Nick created 9 earthenware ceramic “Vases for Mom” to highlight handmade work for All in A Golden Afternoon: Flower Arranging workshop.
