Over

Formally trained as a printmaker, Joel Seah received his Master of Fine Arts from Syracuse University and his Bachelor of Fine Arts from The University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Until he relocated permanently to Royal Oak | Michigan this year to become the primary healthcare provider for his boyfriend, Seah maintained a tenure-track position in the Department of Art & Art History at the University of Southern Maine | Portland, where he was named as the Outstanding Emerging Teacher | Scholar for 2008.

Upon his resignation, Seah started GreenBambooStudios - a graphic design business exploring ventures in commercial visual communication - as a means to support a now independently funded fine arts studio practice.

In spite of having exhibited both internationally and nationally, as well as holding numerous visiting artist and artist-in-residence positions, Seah’s proudest accomplishment to date has been holding on to the same boyfriend for the past five years and counting.
