Exhibits
Scarritt Bennett Center proudly presents “Roots,” a photography exhibition curated by the SNAP (Society of Nashville Artistic Photographers) collective. This exhibit explores the profound and multifaceted theme of roots—both in nature and in our personal, cultural, and emotional landscapes.
Join us as we showcase a stunning collection of images that delve into the beauty of trees, forests, and gardens, while also reflecting on history, heritage, and the things that ground us. Whether through symbolism or raw visual storytelling, these works invite you to connect with the deep and often unseen forces that shape our lives.
- Exhibition Dates: May & June 2025
- Location: Laskey Art Gallery, Scarritt Bennett Center
- Opening Reception: Thursday, May 8, 4-6 PM
Featuring 33 works carefully selected by Heather Lose, this exhibit highlights the talent of local photographers while inviting viewers to reflect on their own sense of connection. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience art that resonates on both personal and universal levels.
All exhibits in the Laskey Gallery are free and open to the public.
I am honored to have been invited and have four images selected by the curator to hang in this show.
They will be available to purchase at the front desk of the gallery.
"Into the Mist"
East Tennessee, 2015
This has become one of my favorite images I've ever created, and it is the result of countless days and hours spent heading into the woods before sunrise, searching for the elusive perfect atmospheric and lighting conditions, coupled with a composition that speaks to me. I passed this area while hiking to my morning destination; I couldn't pull myself away from this scene, and it became "the" destination.

"Sheldon Ruins 2"
Yemassee, SC, 2016
Old Sheldon Church was built between 1745 and 1753. Burned down by the British in 1779 during the Revolutionary War and rebuilt in 1826, only to be burned down again by General Sherman in February 1865. The day I shot this in 2016, my wife and I were the only people on the property, and the history and reverence were palpable in the air.
