Today, Russ Kramer’s marine paintings are widely regarded to be among America’s finest. His unique vision creates first-hand experiences for the viewer, unlike any other contemporary marine artist, taking you right on board history’s most storied yachts and thrilling races.
The Coast Guard Massachusetts State House Mural Project
I am deeply honored to have been selected by the Coast Guard Memorial Committee to undertake a major mural project to be installed in the Massachusetts State House Capitol Building in late 2025. The Coast Guard has its roots in the Commonwealth — the Lighthouse, Revenue Cutter and Lifesaving Services all founded in the state, eventually merged into the modern Coast Guard. I’ll be updating my progress during the process of bringing the early concept into a final work during the spring, summer and fall of 2025, which you can read here or click on the image above
The John Stobart Project: Finishing A Master’s Piece
I was honored as well to have been asked by his widow and head of the Stobart Foundation to finish one of John’s paintings, at his request, that he was unable to complete before his passing early in 2023. You can see the process from beginning to end in a series of blog posts which you can read here
