While born into a family that made him among the sixth consecutive generation of artists, Mr. Guerin did little artwork until after earning his Bachelor’s degree from Salisbury University in 2000. He then injected his lust for knowledge and perseverance into his family’s Atelier, the Schuler School of Fine Arts. There, Hans was taught a multi-disciplinary approach requiring him to learn the interconnectivity of the various fine art media and learned to fashion the most suitable materials in their execution from scratch. Currently, Hans Guerin acts as a teacher and Assistant director at the Schuler School. As an artist and instructor of acclaim, Hans exudes the qualities taught to him and extends them with experiments in artistic expression and technique.
