Flint was born in Chico, California in 1959. He received his formal art education at the prestigious Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. Upon completion, he began his practical experience as an apprentice for various artists. He then began working in art foundries throughout Southern California. When not sculpting, Flint lives with his two wonderful children in Canyon Country.

"In creating my goldfish, I have attempted to capture the sparkling reflections of my young children's eyes when I gave them their first pet goldfish. Goldfish glide effortlessly through the water, their fantails flowing and trailing their every movement, each a living kinetic sculpture."
