Today we’d like to introduce you to Aughty Venable.
Aughty is an international award winner whose love of photography goes back to his youthful wanderings around the countryside of southern Illinois. a sensitive youth, he has grown to a mature perception of life around him which is evident in his works.
Can you give our readers some background on your art?
Over the years I have entered my work in numerous photography competitions so the others could enjoy my art. Doing so I received many awards, both locally and nationally, for my b&w and color photos. My keen eye for beauty and composition was noticed by prominent photographers in the Chicago areas and I was called upon to judge other photographers’ work in competitions. I formalized my education by achieving a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Film and Video from Columbia College in Chicago.
Any advice for aspiring or new artists?
Art should be your passion. It should be what you dream about.
What’s the best way for someone to check out your work and provide support?
