Serial and social entrepreneur, plus award-winning and published Artographer Mitch Schlimer, was born in May 1956. From a very early age, he looked at things differently when his father put a Polaroid instant-camera in his hands at age 5. The rest is history since others could see and even feel that Mitch had this unique gift and vision to capture truly "1 in a 1,000,000 (Million) Moments" which he loved to share as he could see the positive response to his keen eye and love of photography.
Over the last 47 years, Mitch has been on a journey driven by one singular goal and mission, and that is to one day leave this world a little better off from being here and to live a life of purpose, especially making a difference in the lives of others while leaving a legacy that will help others to live their dreams as Mitch also believes that through Artography, everything is possible.
Mitch Schlimer's unique journey has consisted of first being an athlete and a Tennis Professional and running Mitch Schlimer Tennis Centers in Roslyn, NY and Houston, TX, in the late 70s and early 80s. During this time, at the age of 21, Mitch invented the two tone (Orange/Green) Tennis Ball sold today in a can of three for over 46 years on the market and used by millions of Tennis players today by the USTA (United States Tennis Association) in their next generation tennis programs. From there, Mitch started as Founder, Chairman & CEO of Impac International and Lets Talk Business Network(LTBN). While running LTBN, Mitch was also the host of the national and award-winning radio show called Lets Talk Business, where every week Mitch was blessed to meet, interview and even become friends with some of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time. In 1999, Mitch was nominated by his peers as one of the most influential radio show hosts in America along with Howard Stern, Don Imus, Larry King, and others. Today he brings this talent to his podcast titled "Every Photo Has A Story", available on all podcast streaming platforms. Mitch could see that when he told people the actual story behind the photo, they truly enjoyed the story, so Mitch launched the podcast titled "Every Photo Has A Story" that showcases a photo and shares the story how he got it and so much more, including having other talented photographers on where one can learn from their experiences, knowledge and love of photography.
During all this time, Mitch followed his other deep passion for photography and over the decades, someone would say to Mitch, your photos look like paintings. Hearing this enough times inspired Mitch's creative mind to begin calling and positioning himself as an Artographer, and his art as Artography. People from around the world not only paint from Mitch's images, but they have bought his work.
Mitch launched Mitch Schlimer Artography, where Every Photo Has A Story. Mitch continues to share his love of capturing the world, especially Mother Nature, through his wildlife artography with those one in a million moments that many marvel at and say, how in the world did you get that?
Please know that Mitch uses the term phototherapy to describe his art as he could see and feel the power of a special image. It was no surprise to him that photos started showing up on the walls of hospitals, doctors offices, and other places. Mitch believes photography is good for the heart and souls of fellow humans, and this is a driving force today as to why Mitch created Mitch Schlimer Artography.
The name of his Facebook page combined with his personal Mitch Schlimer Facebook page has over 8,300 members and followers from around the world who look forward to his posts virtually everyday. Today, Mitch Schlimer continues to shoot and share how he sees the world through his keen eye and lens.
Mitch Schlimer Artography shares and offers you truly "One In A Million Moments" from around the world. We feel sure you will want to purchase "Artography and Phototherapy" by Mitch Schlimer at Mary Martin Galleries in Charleston, SC.
