Airbrush Artist Fred
Wagner
Bio:
Fred Wagner was
born in 1961 in Rochester NY. He grew up in the town of West Irondequoit. Fred
spent most of his younger years fishing and drawing. His talent started to
develop at the age of 8; working in Tempera paint, pencil and markers.
Throughout grade school and high school Fred’s teachers enchouraged Fred
never to abandon his talants in the arts no matter what. Fred concentrated most
of his efforts toward oil painting and drawing during his high school years and
at the age of 17 Fred took a home study course in taxidermy. One of the
projects was to taxidermy a fish. The best way to paint the fish was to use an
airbrush. After saving up a few dollars Fred bought his fist airbrush; a Pasha
H single action airbrush. He began to experiment with inks on paper and was
very excited about his new found medium.
At the age of 19 Fred bought a
copy of Airbrush Digest Magazine and in that issue was an article about
airbrushing on textiles. And that’s when this life long obsession with
T-Shirt airbrushing began. Fred hooked up with Mark Rush a prominent figure in
the T-Shirt airbrusing field 1983 and spent the next summer season airbrushing
in Fort Walton Beach Florida while learning the ropes. It also was a special
time for Fred because he was a newlywed. He married his beautiful bride Dawn
Wagner and they are still together to this day.
Now Fred and his family
live in Fairport NY and enjoy the atmosphere of a small canal town in western
NY . Fred still is airbrushing away out his home based studeo and is stating to
share his talents by teaching others the things he has learned over the past
thirty years.
