Judge of Awards
Allison Krajcik
Allison Krajcik is a fine art pastelist and oil painter known for her luminous land and seascapes, still life, and florals that radiate with atmosphere and emotion. Allison builds depth through layered washes and warm underpaintings, resulting in pieces that feel both grounded and ethereal. Her subject matter often reflects the quiet beauty of the natural world – from the windswept coast to delicate botanicals – each rendered with sensitivity to light, color and movement. A Southeastern Massachusetts native, Allison brings an intuitive sense of place to her work, inviting viewers to slow down and observe the subtleties of their surroundings.
Her landscapes have been featured in American Art Collector Magazine and Plein Air Magazine and she was invited to write about her creative process for the French magazine, Pratique des Arts, where she shared insights into the “inner glow” that characterizes much of her work. Michell Albala, author of Landscape Painting and The Landscape Painter’s Workbook, will include her painting “Veiled” in his upcoming book expected in 2026.
