Kerry Kupferschmidt

I have been painting with watercolor and other media since my education at the University of Minnesota from 1972- 1977. I spent over 26 years as an illustrator up until 2021. Watercolor remains my favorite as I continue to develop my fine arts focus these days.

I am a member of several great arts organizations including Central Minnesota Watercolorists and North Star Watermedia. I have been a member of Jaques Art Center in the past as well. I have taken several watercolor workshops, including with Andy Evansen, Keiko Tanabe and Dan Wiemer. They have inspired me to grow as an artist.  My recent work has been accepted in many juried exhibits for watercolor. I am now a signature member of NorthStar Watermedia and Red River Watercolor Society.

I find fascinating subjects in many places, including the landscapes of northern and central Minnesota, as well as cityscapes and small-town scenes. I am especially inspired by the play of light across a scene. It gives me an opportunity to create an interesting and well-designed work of art. Light and shadow can enhance values as well, which is an essential element in my style.
