About The Artists:
Barbara J. Kraemer
Barbara is an award-winning artist, with her work held in private and corporate collections and appearing in several publications. She is a member of Pine Shores Art Association, The New Jersey Watercolor Society, The Brevard Watercolor Society, and The Florida Watercolor Society, but she is not limited to watercolor. She works in every two-dimensional medium and enjoys the challenge of all subjects, from seascapes and landscapes to portraits. She believes every view can be a compelling painting.
In addition to creating her own artwork, she teaches art in New Jersey and Florida, and in Spring 2024, she was asked to demonstrate painting techniques at Brevard County Florida’s major annual SPLASH Watercolor Art Show. She makes time to also continue her own art studies under the direction of renowned painters. Her work is regularly seen in coastal exhibitions.
Barbara holds a BA in Mass Communications and Public Relations. Her 40+ year career included working for several major New York advertising agencies. She also served as owner and president of A Current Affair, which served the tristate area, providing a full range of special event planning and publicity.
