Wade Fairbanks comes from a long line of Utah pioneer artists who oversaw and helped paint the murals within early Mormon Temples and started the multi-faceted art culture in the Mountain West. Although Wade did not grow up studying the arts, he has found time, along with his wife Heidi, to learn to paint under the instruction of Matt Coburn, an accomplished and well-known Arkansas artist. Wade’s career has been in software development, complex computing environments, and consulting so the pursuit of painting provides a welcome distraction from the digital world. Wade and Heidi reside in Rogers, Arkansas.
