Seth was born and raised in lower Alabama and at eighteen moved to Nashville, TN to attend Watkins College of Art, Design & Film, where he graduated with a BA in Fine Art with an emphasis in sculpture. For the last fifteen years he has worked for several studios (as well as his own) producing murals, logos, sculptures, sets and faux finishes.
In his personal work he weaves images and symbols collected from travels, lovers and nature with scenes from his past, creating dreamscapes for his characters while leaving enough anonymity for the viewer to form their own narrative. Themes in his work are loss, longing, resilience and the tensions between his Southern Baptist upbringing and navigation of where he belongs in the queer community.
Consistent in his practice is painting, printmaking, sculpture, writing, drawing and photography. He now resides in Austin, TX and would love to hear from you.
