About

StudioSixFive is a collaboration between two artists who also are close friends. The dream came one day when the question “What do you really want?” was asked. Both friends agreed on the answer “Freedom!”. But what does that word really mean? What is freedom? This was a personal quest the two were set out to conquer. Expression of ones true self was key. That’s what art really was, so they thought.

Each artist is unique and individual, having come from diverse backgrounds, the two have been able to experience a multitude of things. They were experimenting with what the word freedom really meant. Steven came from a more industrial background. The majority of his working career he spent at his father’s tile and marble shop learning about the trade. While in school he focused his studies on construction and engineering. While Dane was quite the opposite. His life was surrounded with art. From a young age many saw his talent and encouraged him to stick with it. True to an artists form Dane has been quite the chameleon, from kitchen’s to body shop’s. It wasn’t long after studying Graphic Design in college he knew that path he was to take. His focus shifted back to art and he was driven to make his mark in this little niche.

Steven’s background gave Dane the ability to turn industrial materials into beautiful art. With the help of Steven’s father and local supply shops the two were able to embark on their journey.
