Brendan Kramp

I'm a Twin Cities based visual artist with a studio in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district located in the Casket Arts Building. I create both figurative and abstract works mainly in oil and ink with a focus on strong light and contrasting light effects. I like to create environments in my paintings that tell a story and create a mood or emotion, often eliciting feelings of calm, nostalgia, and wonder.

My visual art training happened in high school and I later studied Literature and Creative Writing at Brown University, followed by an MFA in Fiction Writing at the University of Minnesota. I also hold an MBA from HEC Paris.
