Paul Kratter

Paul was born in San Francisco and raised on the Peninsula, South of the City. He spent his youth either outdoors playing tennis or indoors drawing his favorite athletes and wild animals.

He received a degree in Graphic Arts from the College of San Mateo and spent four years at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Illustration in 1980.

Painting outdoors has become a passion. Paul participates in a number of plein air events annually in California. Each has its own unique topography, light and challenges, which forces him to keep his work fresh and loose.

In 2005, Paul joined a group of fellow artists to paint in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. They packed their supplies, hiked to nearly 10,000 feet and painted the majestic peaks. This has become an annual event.
