I was born and raised in Lancaster City, Pennsylvania and currently reside in Northeastern Lancaster County. I have little formal training outside my high school art classes. I spent a short time studying at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design in downtown Lancaster, but decided that the structure wasn't for me. FIN was born during my teenage years when I began signing my work as such. In some ways, it has become my alter ego. For me, art is a personal journey and form of expression.
