David Krause: Selected Works
February 1 - March 31, 2010


David graduated from Albion College, a small private school in Michigan, with a Fine Arts degree. A four-year term as an officer in the U.S. Navy interrupted a promising career in professional golf after which a new direction was pursued… that being landscape architecture. Mr. Krause opened his office in 1970 and throughout a 25-year career his firm was awarded many national honors for design excellence. His office completed projects throughout the country and the Caribbean always providing design challenges yet 3-dimensional satisfaction when completed.

After retiring in 1995 and missing the design field he began exploring oil painting… and a second career was born. “I live on the shore of Lake Michigan and am witness each day to absolutely incredible skies…the colors of which are a challenge to blend. The shapes, formations and color transitions continually tax my artistic abilities and expand my creative horizons. There is a certain clarity to these constantly changing images, which further provides a basis for more abstract canvases. Horizon lines are constant in all my pieces as is the subtle evidence of Mark Rothko running through my blood. The years spent in landscape architecture offered countless hours of sketching and applying color, which now is reflected in that area of my work. Further, that avenue allows my abstract side to take sometimes rather large liberties and venture into shapes and colors that express the landscape only if one applies a liberal dose of imagination.”
