Colin Tatum was born on January 9th 1985. He is primarily a visual artist.  He grew up in the small town of Darien Connecticut.  When Colin was little he wanted to be one of three things, an archeologist, an artist or a truck driver.

Those past interests have meshed together in his latest work. In the latest work Colin is retracing journeys his grandfather made across the United States that sparked his interest in history painting and the Oregon Trail. Utilizing the technology of google maps street view Colin creates an animation that will take him across the country and explores the notion of a pilgrimage in the modern age.

Pending completion of his bachelors Colin would like to participate in residencies and attend graduate school before becoming a professor.
