Jeremy Bastian grew up wanting to be an artist. He comes from a very diverse artistic family that has encouraged him along his path from the moment he picked up a crayon. Born Ypsilani, Michigan, after high school he went to art school in Pittsburh, graduated, and being quite enamored with Michigan, moved back and no lives there with his wife Emily in Plymouth. They raise chickens, ducks and sheep on a small historical homestead nestled between a golf course and a corn field.
