About

Hi! I’m Andy Krebs, an artist based in Kent, Ohio. I’m experienced in a broad range of mediums including painting, drawing, murals, printmaking, and fabric dyeing. I’ve exhibited in Florida, New York, and Ohio. My work is broadly focused on the wonder of nature and the soulfulness of a human life. To see more, visit @andykrebsart on Instagram.

I love to be active and outside. I do a lot of CrossFit with my friends, and I like to bike, run, hike, and garden. I love almost nothing more than taking simple walks - through my neighborhood, by the river, in the woods, downtown. I offer workshops covering a range of art and ecological themes through Good Ground Art and Ecology. To learn more, visit @goodgroundartandecology on Instagram.

Artist Statement

Over time, my work has shifted from predominantly figurative paintings to other art forms and new mediums. I am continually exploring materials and processes that light a spark, are most authentic to me, and help me express what bubbles inside.

My most recent works are semi-abstracted, black and white, mixed media pieces paired with poems. These represent a move from highly-rendered, more realistic works to freer, looser, and more vulnerable art. As I’ve developed as an artist and a person, I’ve embraced a less rigid and more curious approach to creating and living. These works reflect that part of me. I have found that this way, making art acts as a practice toward surrender to life itself.
