About Graham Fresn
I am a Northwest native born in Seattle, Washington. I lived in Seattle until I was 18 and then moved to the Portland area. I was motivated to join the Navy by 9/11, serving for 5 years. I was stationed on the USS John C. Stennis until my service ended in 2007. I continue to live in the Portland area and married my wife in 2014. In addition to my artistic passion, I enjoy cooking (which also currently pays my bills), fishing, gardening, camping, hiking, legos, family and Seattle Seahawk football. I have been an "artist" as long as I can remember whether it was doodling on every assignment I turned in at school or always having a sketch pad handy. I realized at a young age that I saw the world in a slightly different way than most and I loved putting that vision on canvas. I have always enjoyed sharing a part of myself with family and friends by painting for them to celebrate holidays.
