Sea Grape Gallery - Punta Gorda FL

Sue Krasny

My paintings are meant to communicate a unique sense of place through the bold use of color and light.

My travels, both in the United States and abroad, provide the subject matter for most of my paintings. This allows me to mentally re-visit each location and express its special qualities.

Background

Art has been my passion since childhood.

I studied in Illinois at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Suburban Fine Arts Center, and at Roosevelt University.

Upon retirement to Florida, I continued my art studies with prestigious artists at the Charlotte County Art Guild, the Lee County Alliance of Art, and at workshops in France, Italy, Maine, and throughout the United States.

My paintings have won numerous awards and have been accepted in highly acclaimed juried shows such as: The Charlotte County Art Guild's National Art Exhibit for both 2006 and 2008, Art Encounter 2008 at the von Liebig Art Center in Naples, and the Florida Artists Exhibit in Bonita Springs.

I am on the Endowment Trust Board of the Charlotte County Art Guild and co-chair their 50 Year Campaign.

Giclees

In addition to original paintings, giclee prints of original art are now also available at Sea Grape. Giclees are high quality digital reproductions of paintings printed on archival paper or canvas, using archival inks. Giclees faithfully capture the beauty of the original work, and are fade resistant and long lasting. Giclees are usually printed in limited editions, and are signed and numbered by the artist. These prints have become increasingly popular at galleries as an economical alternative for the consumer. Since giclees can be printed individually as needed, and are available in different sizes and prices, customers are able to obtain an image that exactly suits their decor needs. Several of Sea Grape's two-dimensional artists have giclee prints of their artwork available in specially marked bins, so stop in and browse!
