Andy Krino grew up in the town of Williamston, Michigan. His
parents encouraged intimacy with the landscape and all that
the richly cultivated area of south central Michigan had to
offer. It was here that he began to see that nowhere does the
land change as quickly as in farm country. “Things come and go
in a flurry of color and light and texture. You may recognize it
with all of your senses and remember it forever.” Andy
graduated in 1993 and accepted a scholarship to study art at
Grand Valley State University. There he completed a study
abroad program in both France and England and received a
BFA in 1997. He currently owns his own company specializing
in custom interior and exterior design, site and building
planning, residential contracting, carpentry and artisan
fabrication. Some of his craft has been featured in Publications
such as Better Homes and Gardens and Mother Earth News.
His artwork was represented by LaFontsee Galleries of Grand
Rapids from 1999-2017 and is a part of many public and
private collections around the Midwest. Andy, his wife Traci,
and sons Arlo and Eli, moved to Cedarville, Michigan in the fall
of 2017. Here he continues to translate the local landscape
onto paper, board and canvas but has also found joy in
practicing non-representation color studies, juxtaposing small
natural objects in starkly refined shadow boxes as well as
building custom furniture.
