Florida artist Kristin Herzog grew up on the coast of Massachusetts and began painting before starting school. She launched her adult career as one of very few women draftsmen for civil engineering companies before moving to New York City to begin training as a publication designer at the School of Visual Arts. Over time she moved around the country, teaching at Indiana University, becoming Design Director for the Phi Delta Kappan Magazine, and Art Director for the Dayton Daily News in Ohio before joining the faculty at the University of Florida.
Herzog studied drawing and painting at Sweet Briar College, where she graduated cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa. She also took classes with Bauhaus artist Kurt Kranz in Hamburg, Germany. Her MFA is from George Washington University. Her current work ranges from non-representational to abstract, often with a landscape or vegetative reference.
Herzog enjoys traveling frequently to residencies in the US and abroad.
In 2021 her solo show at The Appleton Museum of Art ran from January through June. She is an Art in Embassies Artist for the U.S. Department of State and her work has been juried into over 90 regional, national and international shows. She has been chosen 5 times for publication in The Artist’s Magazine. In 2018 Herzog accompanied one of her paintings to an international exhibition at the Laotian Museum in Quingdao, China.
Herzog paints every day and lives with one requisite cat and an undetermined number of alligators in Estero, FL. More of her artwork can be seen at http://www.kherzogart.com
