Ian Crombie is a Tucson-based graphic designer and artist whose practice spans digital design and traditional printmaking. Drawn to printmaking after taking a class at The Drawing Studio, he approaches the medium as both meditative and exploratory; a slower, more tactile counterbalance to his design work. In addition to his professional design practice, Crombie’s Sonoran desert-inspired artwork has been featured in community exhibitions and collaborations that celebrate the connection between place, and craft.
