Connor Hesen was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but soon after, he moved to Denver, Colorado, where he grew up cultivating a deep appreciation for the great outdoors.

 

At 18, he began his higher education at the University of Colorado Boulder, graduating in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in Studio Arts. During his studies, Hesen focused on digital art, sculpture, environmental art, and printmaking, learning under esteemed teachers such as Melanie Yazzie, Jon Satrom, and Richard Saxton.

 

He also earned a certificate in Business from the Leeds School of Business and explored various subjects, including geology, astrology, ethics, and sociology, which sparked his interest in people and the environment.

 

In 2014, Hesen founded Conscious Collections LLC, serving as the lead artist and CEO. His efforts raised enough capital to plant over 17,000 trees in remote areas of Africa through a partnership with Trees for the Future.

 

After graduating in 2016, Hesen pursued his passion for exploration by moving to Shanghai, China, where he lived and worked for nearly five years. The experiences and influences of living abroad have profoundly shaped his new line of work and will continue to inspire his future endeavors.

Life is a beautiful gift, and the diversity of the human race is a true work of art. Our differences shouldn't divide us but should instead be a pathway to deeper understanding and acceptance of one another.

 

Our planet is filled with awe-inspiring landscapes, and we owe it to Mother Nature to preserve, promote, and protect them. Technology is an incredibly powerful tool that can do immense good for both humans and nature. However, as technology starts to take over and consume us, we must be aware of this delicate balance and manage it wisely.

 

I am endlessly fascinated by the relationship between these three aspects of our lives: humanity, nature, and technology. When used responsibly, great technology can truly bring us closer together.

 

Thank you for visiting the site. Let's capture these elements together.
