Bradon Kralik became fascinated with the sea from an early age when his grandfather explained how thundershowers and winter snowstorms were the result of water evaporating from the sea, blowing east over the Rocky Mountains. Through these early sessions, Kralik began to understand and appreciate the importance of the sea and its interconnectedness to our lives.

After attending WSC in Colorado and Hunter College in New York City, Kralik sought new inspiration in the arts traveling across the US, Europe, Africa and India, inspiring him to explore different mediums such as printmaking, ceramics and animation. Painting became his preferred form of artistic expression. It is through this medium he depicts his still life, land and seascapes.

Kralik spent his last years in Maui, and painted directly from his blessed life in Hawaii. While he is no longer with us, he lives on through his art of the beautiful island of Maui.
