Fay Krapf - Artist
I paint in acrylic, watercolor, and collage creating mostly abstract works of art. Occasionally I paint in a more representational manner where some aspect of nature can be recognized and enjoyed.

Abstract Paintings: I listen to the inner inspiration corralling free form, flow, and the mingling of color to capture a mood and please the senses.
Representational Paintings: I seek to capture the sense of images to bring a smile of recognition.
Photography: I immerse myself in nature to capture nature up close: a blade of grass, a leaf, a vine, a flower showcased in maze of color - a celebration for the spirit.
Notecards: I offer "one-of-a-kind" original collage notecards for $6.00 each, and notecards with prints of selected paintings and all of the photographs for $3.00 each. Samples of the collage notecards follow:
