Fred Krakowiak is becoming recognized as a leading wildlife artist. His artwork, commissioned by private collectors across North America, can also be found in Zuva gallery in Phoenix, Arizona.

His work is all about spontaneity and movement, as is the Africa he sees with his artist’s eye. Krakowiak is formally trained in the ancient art of sumi (ancient Japanese for “pictures in ink” using a weasel-hair brush to paint). For many years he has studied with an Oriental Master, who introduced him to this unique technique that allows him to capture animals in motion.

Krakowiak’s priority is to capture the experience of seeing these amazing animals, their motion, their passion, their place in the untamed world.

He lives and paints in Scottsdale, Arizona.
