Kreg Kallenberger (born 1950; resides Tulsa, OK)

Kreg Kallenberger studied ceramics and glass making at the University of Tulsa, OK. After earning a B.F.A. there in 1972, and then an M.F.A., he taught at his alma mater. Today, Kallenberger works in a studio on his own ranch just north of Tulsa. In 2000, Kallenberger was the recipient of the Artist Award of Excellence from the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition. Other awards include a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. Kallenberger possesses a long list of exhibits. He, too, has regularly enjoyed one-man shows at Habatat Galleries, Heller Galleries, and Leo Kaplan Modern in New York. Group exhibitions include International Glass at the Millenium Museum in Beijing and the Shanghai Fine Arts Museum, in China, in 2001. In 2002, the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock, presented Kreg Kallenberger as part of its Glass Series. Kallenberger’s work is included in permanent collections ranging from the American Craft Museum in New York, to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art in Japan. Kallenberger’s style evolved out of his experience with ceramics and blown glass, through a number of parallel series. In his Osage Series, he introduced earthy oil paints to represent the scrub of Oklahoma hills refracted by a limitless sky of tall vertical triangles.
