Chris Krupinski
Watercolor
Art is a key element in Chris Krupinski’s life. She has been drawing and painting all of her life, but discovered watercolors in the mid-1980s and has had a passion for the medium ever since. The training she received pursuing art education and graphic design degrees honed her technical abilities. But, more importantly, it is the discipline of painting everyday that has lead to her success.
Chris is a Dolphin Fellow of the American Watercolor Society, signature member of the National Watercolor Society, Rocky Mountain Watercolor Society, Transparent Watercolor Society of America (Distinguised Master), Watercolor West (Master), and Allied Artists, to name a few. She is the recipient of over 250 national and regional awards including the top award in the 2018, 2015, and 2013 Adirondacks Exhibition of American Watercolors, first in Watercolor West 2016, first in Alabama Watercolor Society 2018, Best in Show in North East Watercolor Society in 2019 and an award winner in the 2021, 2015 and 2013 American Watercolor Society Exhibition. Chris has been published in major watercolor publications and has been a featured artist in numerous leading national art magazines. She was featured on both the cover and a feature article in the October 2014 issue of The Artists Magazine. Most recently Chris was featured with a step-by-step demonstration in the Art of Watercolour magazine (30th edition).
