About

PEYTON IS A VISUAL AND CREATIVE ARTIST BASED IN NASHVILLE, TN SPECIALIZING IN PHOTOGRAPHY, PAINTING, AND ARTISTIC DIRECTION. DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM MID-CENTURY AND POST-WAR AESTHETICS, HE OFTEN INCORPORATES ANALOG AND PHYSICAL SOURCES INTO HIS WORK TO EVOKE A SENSE OF TIMELESSNESS AND NOSTALGIA. HIS COMMITMENT TO CRAFTSMANSHIP IS EVIDENT IN HIS DEDICATION TO THE TRADITIONAL C-41 FILM PROCESS—DEVELOPING AND SCANNING ALL OF HIS FILM AT HOME TO MAINTAIN INTEGRITY OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS.

THIS HANDS-ON APPROACH EXTENDS TO HIS PAINTING, WHERE THE PROCESS ITSELF TAKES CENTER STAGE. ROOTED IN ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM, PEYTON RELIES ON INTUITION AND EMOTION TO GUIDE HIS WORK, RESULTING IN WHAT HE DESCRIBES AS A SPILL OF INNER CHAOS. HE ALLOWS EACH PIECE TO TAKE SHAPE ORGANICALLY, DRAWING INFLUENCE FROM ARTISTS LIKE WILLEM DE KOONING AND CY TWOMBLY.

WITH OVER SIX YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS A CREATIVE PROFESSIONAL, PEYTON HAS COLLABORATED EXTENSIVELY WITH TOURING MUSICIANS, PUBLICATIONS, LIVE EVENT PRODUCTIONS, AND CORPORATIONS, BRINGING HIS DISTINCT ARTISTIC VISION TO A WIDE RANGE OF PROJECTS. PEYTON'S OVERARCHING MISSION IS TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF ART AND EMOTION, LEAVING A LASTING IMPRESSION ON ALL WHO EXPERIENCE HIS WORK AND PROCESS.
