About Justin
I grew up in Farmers Branch, Texas and studied close to home at the University of North Texas. I earned a BFA focusing primarily on Studio Drawing and Painting in 2013. Before achieving a BFA, my twin brother and I were traveling playing music and signed a
record contract to Island/Def-Jam Records in 2009. During my travels playing music, I experimented in painting and photography and began to gather photographs of a small community where my family has a one-hundred-year old farm in Kopperl, Texas. I took interest in stories of the farm, community and what is
physically left behind in that community. After experiencing an apartment fire where my family and I lost everything in 2014, my work began to take a new role and meaning. My work focuses on spaces that are left as they are, weathered and
abandoned fragments of a time once lived. My paintings have been exhibited in Dallas/Fort Worth and have been featured in publications such as Studio Visit Magazine and Friend of the Artist.
