Born in South Carolina and raised in Georgia, Win’s Southern roots are important to his work. Playing music since age fourteen, his experiences in the punk and noise rock scenes further developed the graphic elements of some of his work by making scores of posters for underground shows, as well as album art for many bands. He left Georgia in 1995 to attend the University of Texas where he received a degree in art. Drawing, Win’s first love, is the source for all work, even when developed into prints or painting. His painstakingly rendered pieces explore the tension and pathos of life in a semi-fictional world where the spiritual, the historical, the symbolic, and the wild exist simultaneously in a struggle with simple humanity. Win has shown his work extensively in Texas, throughout the United States, and internationally. He continues to live and work in Austin, Texas.
