BIOGRAPHY: JOSHUA FLINT

Born: 1977, Merced, CA.

Joshua Flint grew up across the West Coast from the wet Pacific Northwest to the dry Southwest.  From an early age he filled his days with playing outdoors and drawing.  During these formative years he lived near Santa Fe, NM and in Jackson Hole, WY. These two strong art communities left an indelible impression about the art world beyond his early attempts at drawing and painting.  As he grew older he realized he should pursue an art education not knowing what would be the most fitting creative path.  He attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and studied Illustration, but naturally gravitated towards Fine Art for its more personal voice.  After graduation, he looked to enter the entertainment industry, however, it was his paintings that started to bring him recognition.  Joshua then moved back to the Pacific Northwest to pursue Fine Art, and made Portland, Oregon his home.

He has studied under preeminent artists across the country, which led him to China for intensive workshops.  His exhibitions have been up and down the West Coast from Seattle, WA to Laguna Beach, CA., and most recently in Charleston, SC and Santa Fe, NM.  His work has garnered national awards and has been featured in major publications.  As an active member in his local creative community, he donates his time and art for various causes.  Joshua is an accomplished teacher at the undergrad level and runs his own painting workshops. 

He now lives in Raleigh, North Carolina.
