His World is a Canvas  

During his time at SAA, Sean Knoll won the Joseph C. Mellard award for Creativity. He believes, “The Academy cemented his love of art and made it possible for him to make a career in the art field.”

Upon graduation from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Design, Sean was the Chief of Staff for the Coppini Academy of Fine Arts, where he was twice awarded the Artist of the Month. Now he serves on the Executive Board of Directors at both the Coppini Academy and the International Museum of Contemporary Masters of Fine Art.

Outside of nonprofits, Sean is the Owner and Principle Director of Greenhouse Fine Art Inc., whose art galleries are now located in San Antonio, Houston and soon to expand to two new cities. Greenhouse Fine Art represents artists worldwide and has become one of the largest and most respected galleries in the country.
