Jimmie Torres was born in 1989 in Chicago, IL to a family whose interests and careers in art go back multiple generations. While it was not immediately apparent to him that he wanted to continue his family’s tradition, after years of exploring the various majors offered at multiple Universities, he decided it would be best to pursue a career doing something that he actually loved. He will receive his BA in Art at St. Edward’s University in December, 2013. During his time at St. Edwards, he has set up multiple exhibits for visiting artists such as Pato Herbert. He has also had his own work featured in a few important group exhibitions including Modern Nomad at the East Austin Studio Tour in Austin, TX and Get Your YaYas Out at The CP, Austin, TX. Upcoming Shows include multiple pop up galleries under the Modern Nomad moniker and his yet titled Senior Exhibition set to take place at the Up Collective in Austin, TX. Torres currently lives and works in Austin, TX out of his home studio.
