The Artist

Glenda Krauss

I had always hoped to be a professional artist someday. However, like most people, I never thought it would really happen.

I married, had two sons and made that the priority in my life.  As a self-taught artist, I continued to refine my techniques. But only when I could find the time in my busy schedule.

In 2002, we settled in southern Indiana just out side Louisville, Kentucky. Meanwhile, I began to pursue my dream seriously, by showing my modest portfolio to area business owners.

I received the best advise I could have ever gotten. For example, “Don’t be good at everything, be great at one thing”. It was then I decided to focus on being a muralist.

After that, I see every plain wall or ceiling as a blank canvas, waiting to be transformed into a work of art.

My husband and I now travel all over the country, from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Charleston, South Carolina.

I want to thank everyone who had enough faith in me to let a self-taught artist into their lives.
