Art, Squared

I am definitely drawn to art in all facets. I photographed graffiti and store fronts in Asheville and Austin. In both cities, I was happy to find spaces where graffiti is treated with respect, blossoming as a more artistic form and painted on abandoned buildings, or with permission. I loved touring the River Arts District in Asheville, and I hope these photographs honor the artists that put their time and their love into their work.

I am seeing more and more that art covers our world. It thrills me when artists collaborate, and I enjoy stretching and bending combined aesthetic styles. I like to think of it as art, squared.
