A special conversation recorded live on May 2, 2026 at Studio Kroner celebrating the 5th Anniversary exhibition What Have I Done? is now available to view on YouTube.

Moderated by Thom and Elizabeth Mariner of Movers & Makers Magazine, this in-depth artist talk features artist and Studio Kroner founder Paul Kroner reflecting on his creative journey — from his roots in Cincinnati, through design school and a career in graphic design, to becoming both a fine artist and founder of an artist-run contemporary gallery.

The conversation explores:

• Growing up and finding creative inspiration in Cincinnati

• Transitioning from graphic design into fine art and sculpture

• The development of Paul’s figurative bronze work

• Balancing the roles of artist and gallerist

• The founding and evolution of Studio Kroner over the past five years

• The themes and ideas behind What Have I Done?

The exhibition and discussion reflect on creativity, identity, relationships, ambiguity, and the ongoing question of what it means to dedicate one’s life to making art.

Thank you to everyone who attended the talk and helped make the evening such a meaningful and engaging experience. For those who were unable to attend — or for anyone who would like to revisit the conversation — the full recording is now available on YouTube.
