About Casey

Casey Krawczyk (b. 1978) earned her B.F.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Superior and her M.F.A. from the New York Academy of Art. Currently based in Northern Minnesota, her artistry is profoundly influenced by her rural upbringing and the region’s Finnish and Indigenous cultural heritage, fostering a deep connection to the natural environment. Her paintings are characterized by meticulous detail and an intimate portrayal of the natural world, merging her cultural roots with her formal academic training. Casey brings extensive teaching experience, having served as a professor at Western State Colorado University before shifting her focus to her studio practice, and workshop instruction in the northeastern United States. 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, 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 painting’s mystery. After all, this constant flux of duality is the very essence of creation.
