Mike St. Clair was the beneficiary of five years of scholarship to Trinity University, where he excelled in the arts. He had the privilege to study sculpture and drawing from Phil Evett, painting and interior design as Elizabeth Ridenhower's student assistant, and printmaking from Bob Tiemann. His interest in advertising allowed him to also study film, photography, and broadcasting as his minor degree. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a Mass Communications Interdisciplinary Degree in Journalism. He pursued a career in printing, advertising, and graphic design in the Houston Metroplex for over 45 years. This successful pursuit ended in 2019 when he retired early to his home in San Antonio. Currently, he is relaunching his advertising consulting firm, PARA/Graphics, in the southside community of his youth. Mr. St. Clair now has more time to devote to creative art. His painting mentor, Elizabeth Ridenhower, predicted one day he would "return to his love of painting, art and sculpture" when the time was right. He believes now is the time and has begun working again actively, in his home studio in San Antonio. He is actively seeking Fine Art commissions and endeavors.
