Meet the Artist -- Margaret Graham Kranking

Capturing the quality of light is the motivating force behind the paintings of Margaret Graham Kranking. For this result, she has chosen the medium of watercolor for its vibrancy and spontaneity. An enthusiastic outdoor painter, she has traveled the East Coast from Campobello Island to the Carolinas as well as the terrains of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

Though a native of South Carolina, the artist has spent most of her life in the Washington, DC area where she was graduated Summa Cum Laude from the American University. Her professional credits include listings in Who's Who in American Art, Who's Who of American Women, Who's Who in the East, and Who's Who in the World. Featured articles and reproductions of her workhave appeared in Carl Schmalz's Finding and Improving Your Painting Style; American Artist magazine, May 1988; Northlight magazine, July 1990; and Watercolor '91, Spring issue.
