of Ing Paints?

Michigan artist Ing Andrews at Crystal Lake, Beulah Beach
Hello!

I'm Ing! I am a born-and-bred Michiganian, and I love to create!

All my life I have tried my hand and experimented with many creative pursuits, and am primarily self-taught. During law school I did calligraphy professionally as a side hustle. I draw, knit, do leather work, make traditional and sculptural cake art, woodwork, make jewelry, cook, and, of course, paint!

I've been concentrating on painting watercolor landscapes and small features of nature and Michigan life. There is inspiration everywhere around me in Northern Michigan, and you may recognize Michigan landmarks reflected in my work. I love to travel, and many of those destinations inspire my work, but I feel truly privileged to be plop in the middle of one of the most beautiful areas of America, and the world!

I also like to paint animals. Horses, dogs, and cats are great muses. One day I'll do a series on my three herding doodles. But these days it's sure nice in the cold depths of a northern winter to lose myself in painting a beach scene!

I've decided to start exhibiting my work and will soon have a shop set up to sell original paintings and art prints and gifts. Please keep your eyes on these pages for updates. I also accept some commissions for custom art.

Well, that's a lot about ME! I hope you enjoy my art, and hope to have the opportunity to meet you at a show or otherwise out in the world one day!
