About Lynn Krause

I am an artist living and working in Woodstock, IL whose preferred mediums are pastel and acrylic paints. My art education began at the Chicago Academy of Fine Art. I began my career as a commercial artist in a studio in Chicago and left the commercial world in 1966. In 1967, I begain exhibiting at art festivals where I continue to show my pastels to this day.

I work on several types of paper–colored sanded paper or Arches black cover stock. Each piece begins with hard pastels to establish the lights and darks, then continue with softer pastels to completion.

Pastels are pure pigment with no liquid binder that can cause discoloration. Pastels from the 16th Century are just as bright today as the day they were painted.

I exhibit my vibrant landscapes at art fairs and festivals nationwide. Click here for my current exhibition schedule.

Sizes listed are image size excluding frame, matte and UV museum glass. All pastels subject to prior sale.
