About Casey

Casey Krawczyk (b. 1978) holds a B.F.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Superior and an M.F.A. from the New York Academy of Art. Now based in Northern Minnesota, her artistic vision is deeply shaped by her rural Minnesota upbringing and the rich Finnish and Indigenous cultures of the area, fostering a strong bond with nature. Her paintings exhibit a precise attention to detail combined with an intimate connection to the natural world, reflecting both her cultural heritage and formal training. With extensive teaching experience, Casey served as a professor at Western State Colorado for eight years before relocating to the northeastern U.S. to focus on her family, painting, and teaching through workshops. Her work is represented by Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, SC, Peter Jung Fine Arts in Hudson, NY, and Keating Fine Art in Basalt, CO.

Statement

Painting is a means of self-discovery; the reason I'm drawn to a particular image or theme can only be revealed through the act of making. Painting is an attempt to bring order, purpose, and understanding to a myriad of thoughts, feelings, experiences and beliefs. Like an image in murky water, blindly swimming toward it, each painting leads me closer, bringing it into focus, whatever It is….I don’t know and I know, it’s familiar and unfamiliar, scary and safe, all coexisting together. All these juxtapositions contribute to a paintings mystery. After all, this constant flux of duality is the very essence of creation.
