About
Columbus, OH. Fine Art | Public Art
Krystan Ivey is a painter working towards her BFA at Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, OH. Krystan uses a variety of paints and drawing mediums, usually beginning with a preliminary sketch, idea, or phrase. Vivid and grounded in realism, the works combine vibrant colors with purposeful, unsettling scenes. Using repetitive mark making she simplifies visual texture into pattern, recreating figures and her environments to tell narratives. Feminist themes within her work are a result of growing up in Georgia surrounded by unfettered nature and unfiltered southern politics.
