Jeff Krino, a Michigan native, creates mixed-media found object 3-D paintings using found objects and reclaimed materials.

Krino has shown his work through the midwest and has received "Best of Mixed Media," 2004 & 2005 Art on the Rocks, Marquette, Michigan.

"A new remarkable artist is Jeff Krino from Bellaire, who uses a series of found objects to create unusual bas relief sculptures, each with an added ecological message. Instead of the usual technique where the background is chiseled and removed to raise the images, Krino uses a combination of acrylic and enamel paints, spray paint, and “found” objects assembled onto a wood panel. His found objects can be bone, rubber, wood, sinew, and various types of metal. His work illustrates ingenuity and calls attention to our undeniable impact on our natural surroundings." by the Northern Express
