Björn Bauer was born in Germany in 1980. At 8 years old, he moved with his family to the Philippines and spent the rest of his childhood in Southeast Asia, including Cambodia and Malaysia. He has been drawing for as long as he can remember, as everything that interested him became inspiration for an image. He moved to Oklahoma in 2000, and graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a Bachelor in Fine Art Education in 2005. Holding his first solo exhibit at IAO gallery in Oklahoma City in 2006, he continued to regularly show his work, along with teaching high school art for twelve years. He now lives in Albany, New York, and expects to earn his MFA in painting from the University at Albany in 2019.
