      Fotios Rouch has been a prolific modeler ever since he was a little boy. After leaving behind his stocks and stocks of models to study in the States, his father had welcomed all the neighbor kids to help themselves to his collection. Nevertheless, the modeler was still inside him and his love to build prevailed. His work brought him closer to great masters in the industry and gave him a valuable insight into their techniques. Fotios Rouch is recognized as one of the worlds leading modelers and demand for his knowledge is phenomenal. Fotios Rouch is recognized all over the world and his art techniques are the benchmark by which all others in this established field set their standards.

 

     Michelle Rouch has drawn all her life.  She was often caught at school drawing on her assignments rather than focusing on her studies.  She had entered Wright State University with the intent of getting her Bachelor's degree in art; however, her brother encouraged her to follow his footsteps and become an engineer instead.  After Michelle Rouch finished her master's in Information Systems in Engineering, she focused seriously on her talents.  Her husband, Fotios Rouch has been a great inspiration in using his vast library and encourage her to draw airplanes.  In 2003, she had her first show at Tucson Airport for the Centennial of Flight Art Show, which exhibited 39 pieces of her work.  That began her world in Aviation Art and is bringing her closer to the great master artists in the world.
