Artist Spotlight: Paintings by Greta Kresse

in Apr 5, 2025

We are so excited to welcome Greta Kresse to the Kaleidoscope Collective! 

A little about Greta -

Greta Kresse (b. 1999, Little Rock, AR) is a plein-air painter based in Fayetteville, AR. She received her BA from Hendrix College and is pursuing an MFA at the University of Arkansas, supplementing her education through programs at the New York Studio School and The Mount Gretna School of Art. Kresse teaches workshops at the Arts and Science Center for Southeast Arkansas.

Working primarily in oils, she creates vibrant narrative paintings that explore human connection within the Southern landscape, particularly focusing on intimate scenes along Arkansas rivers. Her documentary-style approach captures moments of profound connection between community members, investigating themes of isolation, beauty, and love in the American South. Drawing inspiration from regional poetry and direct observation, Kresse's work proposes comfort and connection as forms of resistance, presenting authentic representations of her community.

We currently have a handful of Greta's paintings on display at Kaleidoscope Collective - a local art and handmade goods gallery in Downtown Rogers, Arkansas! Stop by to view work by local artists, shop handmade goods and gifts or take a workshop with our local creatives!
