Born in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA, on Jan 21st, 1974 as a dual national (USA and UK), Ian Rees
was raised in the US, UK, and Philippines. Educated in Connecticut and Arizona, USA, he received
a bachelors degree in History from the University of Arizona in 2000, has traveled all over
the globe, and now resides (mostly) in Tucson, Arizona, nestled amongst the magestic Saguaro
cacti.
A relative newcomer (he has only been drawing seriously for about 4 years)...
he has always been keen on the pencil... graphite and colored, for their portability, less
messiness, and ability to prodce detail. His favorite subjects thus far have been: European
cityscapes (namely Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, and Venice), portraits of famous people
(philosophers, rock/reggae stars).
In the past, Ian has used old/antique postcards (that he used to buy by the dozen), as a
source of most of his black and white cityscapes... and made copies of Rembrandts, Renoirs,
and Chinese Art... Lately, Ian has begun to use more original material in his work, using
his own photographic material (from his new digital camera) as his primary source for his
newest pieces.
