Tina works in a variety of media including oil, watercolor, bound graphite and mixed media collage. Her paintings are inspired by natural and urban environments and by conditions of their transformation. She rearranges multiple sources and reconstructs fragmented worlds in which the pieces don’t exactly fit together anymore.  She works in layers which are concealed and exposed, thus documenting her creative process. Art, like life, is a process of transition. Her work explores states of fragility, endurance, order and chaos which occur with change. Through the landscape, Tina responds to human experience where life changes, parts are discarded, rearranged, transformed, and we begin anew.  The narrative may change based on the viewer’s reflective experience.

With a degree in Art Education and a Masters in Art from Kent State University, Tina enjoyed many years as an art teacher and continues to work from her studio in Garrettsville, Ohio.

Tina’s paintings have been exhibited at numerous area galleries including The Butler Institute of Art National Mid-Year Show, Lakeland College May Show, Group Ten Gallery, Summit Art Space, Fairmount Center for the Arts, Valley Art Center and The Box Gallery. In addition to being an associate member at Group Ten Gallery, Tina is a member of Artists of Rubber City.  You may contact Tina Grondin at tina4art@gmail.com
