Collection: Kronenberg, Joe

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Joe Kronenberg was exposed to a historic past that included accounts of Native Americans, pioneers, mountain men, and trappers. These stories shaped his love of the subject matter he now paints. Traveling to historic sites, national parks, and the mountains each year, he studies and gathers reference photos and information on the animals and scenery that he then portrays in his work.

Kronenberg was the 2009 recipient of the C. M. Russell Museum Auction’s Ralph “Tuffy” Berg Award, which is given to the most promising up-and-coming artist. In 2017, he was inducted into the Russell Skull Society of Artists. In 2011, 2014, 2015, and 2016, seven of his paintings were awarded finalists in the prestigious Art Renewal Center’s International Salon. He also received Best of Show at the 2015 Western Masters auction in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Kronenberg was a featured artist in the book Best of American Oil Painters 2011 and has been featured in magazines such as Fine Art Connoisseur, Western Art Collector, Art of the West, Southwest Art, American Art Collector, Northwest Sportsman, and California Sportsman. His work can be found in numerous private, corporate, and public collections throughout North America and is represented by Coeur d’Alene Galleries; Going to the Sun Gallery, Whitefish, Montana; and Beartooth Gallery Fine Art, Red Lodge, Montana.
