Featured Artist for October, November and December 2005

The works of Artist Anita Kraft will be on display in the Capitol offices of Governor John Hoeven and First Lady Mikey Hoeven for the months of October, November and December.

Anita Kraft (Fargo)

Born and raised in Minnesota, Anita started studying art as a Major at Moorhead State College in 1970. After completing two years, she left behind academia to raise a family in Fargo, North Dakota.

In 1972 Anita entered a Traveling Art Show sponsored by the University of Minnesota and won Honorable Mention for her paintings. After many years of raising a family, Anita returned to painting to which she has brought years of life's experiences and her desire to travel to each of her pieces. Inspired by her family, she will paint for many more years to come.
