Peyton Dollar is a painter and photographer based in Nashville, TN.

Peyton began his career as a freelance photographer in 2019, spending the following years working across music, commercial, editorial, and corporate industries. His focus for several years included arena tours with country music legends, festival work across Australia, Canada, and all 48 contiguous states, dozens of album covers, and hundreds of events. His photography has been featured in Rolling Stone, Forbes, NPR, The Country Music Hall of Fame, and more.

In 2024, Peyton began working in painting and fine art. Drawing on his years of visual practice, his introduction to paint allowed him to express an emotional intensity that years behind the camera couldn’t allow. This tension between mediums is an ongoing study in impermanence and serves as the foundation for his philosophy regarding the still image . He draws inspiration from art history, philosophy, psychology, and personal history citing Cecily Brown, de Kooning, Monet, Francis Bacon, and Joan Mitchell as major influences.

In just over a year he has completed over fifty original works and held his debut exhibition, Forgotten Landscapes, in Nashville in December 2025. He is currently building his next exhibition as well expanding his footprint within the Nashville art scene.

When Peyton is not working he can be found near the piano, tending to his plants, or having a cup of coffee.
