Local artist Trevor Twist, a Baltimore native and graduate of Boys’ Latin School of Maryland, recently purchased the Mitchell School of Fine Arts and will serve as the school’s Creative Director. Twist earned his B.S. in Art and Architecture from Lehigh University, and graduated with honors from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His work primarily consists of figurative painting and landscapes and has been exhibited internationally.
How did you come to the decision to purchase the Mitchell School?
I was going to teach classes here about a year ago, when I got this great job in Philadelphia working at a gallery. I was working at a big alumni show when the former owner of the Mitchell School called me. I had always known I was going to start an art school, I just didn’t know I would have the opportunity so quickly. So I jumped on it. I tend to trust the Universe and follow where the wind takes me.
