Kerry Kupferschmidt has been a watercolor painter and enthusiast for nearly thirty years. He began drawing at an early age, while growing up in Maplewood, Minnesota. He discovered the wonder of watercolor while working toward a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Minnesota. Classes with Malcolm Meyers and Peter Busa inspired Kupferschmidt and he has been on a joy ride ever since.
Kupferschmidt became a full time watercolor artist and illustrator about 14 years ago. He started a business doing architectural illustrations for builders and developers. That business has enabled Kupferschmidt to continue painting daily.
