About Me
Covered from head to toe in a deep red terracotta clay at age eleven, Tom Krempa began his love of art and ceramics. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, his first introduction to art was clay at the local community center on the potter’s wheel. He continued his education in art through high school, college as well as private and advanced art programs. Krempa has won numerous awards at juried art shows in National and International Exhibitions. Currently his works are exhibited and being recognized and awarded in numerous virtual art shows and galleries.
About My Work
His 3-dimensional ceramic and encaustic paintings have dynamic textural quality. Krempa's sculptural series "Life on a Reef" uses encaustic paints that are manipulated by scraping, rolling, carving and using the encaustic paint to build multi levels. These pieces are full encaustic sculptures mounted with steel rods that are bored into rocks as a base.
