Kristin Herzog

Florida artist Kristin Herzog enjoys doing both realistic and abstract work. She grew up on the coast of Massachusetts, south of Boston, and began painting before she started school. Unfortunately her initial choice of support was the porch floor, causing her effort to be met with negative reviews. Consequently this early work has been lost. During her career as a publication designer Herzog lived in New York City, Indiana, Ohio, Florida, and Washington, D.C. She now lives in Naples FL and paints primarily on canvas in acrylics since her porch floor is neither portable during hurricane evacuations, nor suitable for painting.

Her work can be seen at Artisan's Plaza in Naples, FL by appointment. Please use the contact form below.

Herzog's awards for fine art include First Place, Georgia Watercolor Society 32nd National Exhibition; the Leila Gardin Sawyer Award for Drawing, New York City; Fifth Place, Georgia Watercolor Society 39th National Exhibition; Second Place (twice), Springfield Art Guild, Annual Show, Annandale, VA; Second Place/Drawing, International Exhibit V, Laredo, TX; Award of Excellence, Virginia Watercolor Society, Lorton, VA; Winsor & Newton Award, Southern Watercolor Society, Greenville, NC; Airfloat Systems Award, Southern Watercolor Society, Columbus, GA; Honorable Mention/Drawing, International Exhibit IV, Laredo, TX; Honorable Mention, Cheyenne, WY; Special Merit Award, Spotlight on the Arts, Fairfax, VA; Judge’s Choice Award, Springfield Art Guild, Annual Show,  Annandale, VA; Sixth Place, Georgia Watercolor Society 33rd National Exhibition; Winsor & Newton Award, Visual Arts Society of Texas 44th Annual Exhibition, Denton, TX; Award of Excellence, Central Virginia Watercolor Society, Charlottesville, VA.

Her work has been juried into over 80 regional, national and international shows in nineteen states.
