Theo Hearst

Biography

Theo Hearst has been surrounded by art from a very early age, and has been making art in one form or another his entire life. His work includes paintings, collages/mixed media, sculpture, photography, poetry, acting, and film making. His passion for art came in part from his father, a well-known and highly respected curator of 20th century and contemporary art. From a very young age, Theo was afforded the unique opportunity to experience art around the world, while his father studied and worked in world-class cities like New York, Tokyo, Venice, Philadelphia, Berkeley and Bern. This culturally rich childhood and adolescence, in which virtually every dinner table conversation centered on museums and art, led Theo to Ithaca College, where he took several drama classes and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Sculpture in 1995. He then interned at the Marian Goodman Gallery in New York City. Also, from 1999 to 2008, he attended the HB Studio & The Stella Adler Studio of Acting.
