Kay Krapfl was born in Dallas, Texas, and has always had a strong interest in all forms of art. Today her work is made up of ideas and techniques that she has learned through constant experimentation. She enjoys different styles of art, but the impressionistic style can readily be seen in most of her work. She works in oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and pen and ink.

 

Kay has had her artwork exhibited in the Mountainlair Gallery of West Virginia University, Ogelbay Institute in Wheeling, Delf Norma Museum in Moundsville and at Moutaineer Athletic Club in West Virginia. She has also exhibited her work in numerous juried shows in Iowa, Pennsylvania, Chicago, and Virginia.
