Biography
Arriving from London in 1997, with cameras
in hand, Graham Hobart has already made his mark in
the US. His unusual approach to photography is as unique as
his development as an artist.
Growing up during a civil war in Africa and living on three continents explains
why his work is anything but ordinary. At age ten he was
carving stone. While still in high school he began casting bronze sculptures
and painting in oils.
This was followed by a period of where he began to explore as much of the
African sub continent as he could. Large parts were covered by canoe
or bicycle because
in some places roads didn't exist.
"It was during these travels that I realized that I just had to have
a camera to record all those wonders" explains Mr. Hobart. So from the
simple desire to share his stories with others he bought his first camera
at age twenty five and the next great adventure began.
Graham Hobart has continued to involve himself in many diverse interests from
sculpture to racing sail boats to supporting the Arts in an effort to draw
from as well as contribute to the well being of future generations.
