Zacheriah Kramer

Painter

Colorado – b. 1979

Zacheriah Kramer was born in 1979 in Colorado. Always drawn to the representational tradition in painting, he trained at The Florence Academy of Art in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Florence, Italy, graduating in 2011. He currently lives simply on the countryside in Ostrobotnia, Finland, with the forests and fields as his preferred studio, and where he grows and forages a large portion of his family’s food. Zacheriah works from life and memory/imagination. Spontaneous studies from life are the backbone of his work, and are made in part as a means to engage the world intensely. Zacheriah seeks to see new beauties in the common things around him as they unfold through time, with all of his senses, and with as much the attention he can.
