Oil Paintings - Contemporary Art - Giclee Prints

I've been painting for about twenty years, with the exception of those times when I'd take a long drive and throw all my brushes into the woods in a fit of despair. Later, I'd have to find them, and I ended up with all kinds of cuts and scratches. Now I tend to just throw them out onto the lawn. Anyway, it's something that just keeps following me. I can't stop painting. Not for long.

For many years, I sold my work through the Clark Whitney Gallery, a place in Lenox, MA that was owned by my good friend Ruth Kochta, R.I.P., to whom I owe a great deal. Thanks Ruth.

Now, I divide my time between Lenox and Keene, NH, and my work is shown at a gallery called Studio 47 in Woodstock, VT, along with occasional group shows around the Northeast. I live with my husband, Edward Acker, who is a photographer.

On this site, you'll see some of my recent work, and a few older pieces. I've recently made some of my sold pieces available as giclee prints. They're in editions of fifty, matted and signed. If you'd like yours framed, we can arrange that, too.

So there it is. No formal schooling, no congressional medal of honor. Most days, I barely leave the house. I do, however, have lots of paint and lots of nice ideas. If you're interested in anything, drop me a line. I'll be updating frequently, so please visit often. Peace, Kris
