About Matti Baine
Experience
I have been producing original paintings, consistently, for 17 years. My first painting being at about age 9 with my Great Grandmother. I was a Scenic and Prop Designer for 13 years with Circus Flora where I also was an Actress, Stage Manager and some Aerial Performance. Working with live events all of my adult life... I love to put on a good show! With or without my art... I live and breathe it.
Skills
Apart from creating art, I have a vast background in Live Event Support... Stage Manager, Project Management, Producing. Working early on in Art Museums & Art Festivals, then Rock & Roll, and Cirque. Currently in Corporate Events with a focus on Deck Management.
Training
With a focus on Visual and Performing Arts at Scottsdale Community College, I transitioned to hands on experience at Circus Flora as Designer, Management and Actor as well as a Scholarship to study design and fabrication with Paolo Soleri at Arcosanti. Additional classes and workshops in intaglio etchings, movement and sailing certifications.
