Sean Smith - COO / Corporate Services
Artistry and photography are two interests that define Sean from an early age and have remained constant focal points throughout the course of his life. Sean’s passion for the arts led him to the University of Dallas - a private school whose curriculum is designed around classical liberal arts education. The University’s core curriculum consists of coursework in Art and Architecture, Philosophy, Literature, Theology, Politics and Western Civilization. During his time immersed in the liberal art’s studies, Sean had the opportunity to deepen his passion and knowledge of art by spending a semester studying Art and Architecture in Rome, Italy. Throughout the semester abroad, Sean traveled extensively in Europe. During his travels, Sean had the opportunity to study the historical buildings and paintings from Classical to Modern art. His first-hand experiences laid the foundation for a breadth of knowledge of different art and mediums and further nurtured his life-long passion for artistic studies. During his years at the University of Dallas, Sean also pursued his love of photography and worked for the school yearbook as the Photography Editor. Sean received a B.A. in History with a concentration in Art.
