Meet the Artist: Meg Krakowiak

February 2024—Meg Krakowiak is a contemporary award-winning artist best known for her intriguing color palette creating paintings that “Bring Happiness into Your Home.”

Born into an artistic family, Meg was continuously exposed to music, theatre and fine arts.  While earning a BS in teaching and an MBA in marketing Meg enrolled in every elective art class she could.  Eventually Meg left the corporate world to pursue her dream to become a professional artist.  

She began to teach, contributed to the development of the Art Smarts program in the public school system and created an art program for cancer survivors at a local hospital.  Meg found that while helping her students’ find their own voices, she was becoming a better artist- more purposeful and focused on her intention.  

In 2010 Meg launched her business model to combine both her working studio and retail gallery into one space.  This created the opportunity to paint while also meeting clients.  Her current studio/gallery is located on historical Palm Avenue in downtown Sarasota where passerby’s can watch her paint in the front window,

Listening to her favorite tunes, Meg works quickly utilizing water-based materials and various tools. Focusing on a memory and a feeling, she recreates that experience exaggerating the colors and composition to trigger a memory and make a connection with the viewer.   Her paintings help teach you how to see and appreciate the colors that surround us. Meg is fortunate to call Sarasota her home and thankful to be a part of this vibrant artistic community.
