As a life-long artist, Vance started developing his skills very young with encouragement from artistic parents. Vance’s father, Dave, is an accomplished acrylic artist specializing in landscapes. Vance earned a Bachelors degree in Visual Communication Design from The Ohio State University in 1991.
Being an avid family-man, Vance discovered the satisfaction of designing and painting murals and scenery for his children’s bedrooms. Vance has also designed and constructed stage props for his church’s children’s ministry (other creations).
Vance lives in central Ohio with his wife, 2 children and their 2 cats.
