He has been a lover of the arts for as long as he can remember and he started painting in oils when he was just 7 years old! As adulthood and family responsibilities started to consume his life, the variety of artistic expression became relegated to occasional hobbies while he focused on filmmaking. In 2004 he started painting again! Roderick currently lives in Arizona, in a highly energy-efficient home with a 400-square-foot loft studio overlooking the living area. This allows him to balance his work and family life.
