Donald Cronkhite is a Michigan artist, most noted for his extensive series of expressive atmospheric paintings. His work has been represented by the Gruen Galleries in Chicago’s River North Gallery District since 2005 and at the Robert Kidd Gallery in Ferndale since 2020.

Cronkhite’s work is included in private art collections as well as museum and university collections such as the Flint Institute of Arts, Wayne State University and University of Michigan-Dearborn.

Cronkhite received his BFA from Wayne State University after exploring the art galleries and museums of Europe where he was inspired by 17th-century Dutch painting and 19th-century French avant-garde painting.

In 2019, he began teaching painting classes at the Flint Institute of Arts (FIA), Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center (BBAC) and the Grosse Pointe Artists Association (GPPA). He maintains a regular studio practice and continues to take art commissions, sell, and exhibit.
