Artist Meg Krakowiak
Meg Krakowiak is a contemporary, award-winning artist best known for her intriguing color palettes and original paintings that “bring happiness into your home.”
Born into an artistic family, Meg was surrounded by music, theatre, and the fine arts from an early age. While earning her BS in Teaching and MBA in Marketing, she immersed herself in the arts, taking every available art class and performing in local theatre productions. Eventually, Meg left the corporate world to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a professional artist.
Predominantly self-taught, Meg expanded her skills through workshops and seminars studying drawing, pastels, watercolor, oils, and acrylics. Deeply influenced by the Impressionists, her work explores the use of color, light, layering, movement, and expressive brushwork.
In 2010, Meg launched a unique business model combining her working studio and retail gallery into one space. Located on historic Palm Avenue in downtown Sarasota, Florida, her studio allowed visitors to watch her paint and experience the creative process firsthand. After more than a decade of welcoming visitors into this cherished space, Meg transitioned from her Palm Avenue gallery to focus on creating from her private studio, now working exclusively with Procaccini Galleries.
Meg describes herself as a master colorist and intuitive painter. Fascinated by the interplay of color and light, she captures memories and emotions through layered compositions designed to evoke joy and reflection. “My goal is to create art that helps the viewer appreciate the colors we can all learn to see — works that trigger a memory and tell a story.”
She has received numerous awards recognizing her work and has been featured in Home & Design Magazine, Florida Design, Working Title, Scene Magazine, and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
A proud member and supporter of Sarasota’s thriving arts community, Meg is affiliated with: Art Advocates, Women Contemporary Artists, Art Center Sarasota, All Star Children’s Foundation, Interior Design Society, Florida Studio Theatre, Asolo Theatre, Sarasota Ballet, Sarasota Art & Cultural Alliance, and the Downtown Merchants Enrichment Association.
Through her art, Meg continues to share her passion for color, emotion, and the joy of creation — inspiring others to see beauty and happiness in the world around them as she embarks on this next artistic journey.
