Featured Artist: ART KRUMMEL

Cuyahoga Valley Art Center

Hello, I am Art Krummel, Art the Artist.

More than 50 years ago, I saw an oil painting hanging at a friend’s house. It had been painted by my friend’s dad, and I was amazed that a person could create such a beautiful piece of work. That sparked the first ember in a fire that has grown and has been raging ever since. It is a fire that took me to a newspaper art department and allowed me to illustrate stories for 40 years.During that time, I continued to paint at home for family and local art shows.

Through years of study -- I have a bachelor in fine arts degree from the University of Akron and have done post-grad work at other schools, workshops and seminars -- I have tried to develop a painting ability that I could be proud to demonstrate and display. That quest continues and will until I paint my last brushstroke.

Today I am able to paint every day, feeding the fire that started a half century ago. Each painting is an exciting new adventure in landscape or still-life, figurative or abstract expressionism. Visit my website ARTtheARTIST.com to see some of the results of these adventures. I have enjoyed every one and I hope you find some pleasure in viewing my paintings.

I currently live with my wife in Northeast Ohio with a home in the woods, 2 grown children, a son-in-law and one sweet grandchild. Every day I wake up excited about a new day of painting. It’s almost like Christmas morning again and again.

I have succesfully completed commissioned portraits of children, adults, animals, landscapes and homes. If you have a painting need please contact me.
