Selected by his classmates as “Most Artistic,” it is not a surprise that Rob Crombie has become one of the most sought after oil painters in our region. However, Rob took a break from the brush for nearly 30 years for a career in the print world and to raise a family. Once he returned to his passion, he would find joy and an opportunity to give back. He travels quite a bit to small villages in France for inspiration. His work is on display in Cleveland, St Remy France, South Carolina as well as in Summer shows around the region. While garnering success as an artist, Rob has gone above and beyond to open the world of art to adults and children throughout Northeast Ohio. He is a popular instructor at the Valley Art Center and gives considerable time to art groups as well as students in public schools to support their efforts to learn to paint. Rob has also made it a priority to work in our most underserved schools in Cleveland and Akron where children may be most inspired and helped.
