Paul Krapf
Born in western Pennsylvania, Krapf
cannot remember when he didn't draw and try to make things look
real. He began to use oil paints at age ten with a set given to him
by his aunt and uncle. Krapf was privileged to have a good art
teacher in high school and went on to study at ARt Institute of Pittsburgh
where he once again enjoyed the instruction of a fine teacher, Angelo Di
Vincenzo, from whom he probably learned more than from any other person.
Unable to find employment as a commercial
artist, Krapf took a job as an electrical draftsman, became an electrical
designer, remaining in that field for over thirty years. During
those years, he continued to draw and paint in his spare time. IN
1963, the Krapf family made their first trip to the West. From then
on, Paul's work began to be of more western subject matter and the desire
to live in that area was strong. In 1980, with the encouragement of his
wife, Fonda, Paul quit his job of eighteen years with NASA and became an
artist full time. In 1981, the Krapfs' were able to move to Montana
and build their home and studio just north of Yellowstone National Park,
along the Yellowstone River.
