His experiences have been as varied and his work has taken him from the hills of Appalachia to Europe and beyond.Jan Faul was born to an American mother and a Czech father. By Jan's 18th birthday they had lived in the US and Europe. Upon their arrival in Switzerland, he was given a camera.In college, Jan first started in engineering and later moved to study art history and printmaking.
