“Infinity Hallway”, Austin Art Boards Winner, 2017

When our lead editor Alli Holland brought news to the Left Turn Only office that the Austin Art Boards competition was accepting submissions, I was excited to participate. Having moved to ATX in 2014, I've seen the Austin Art Boards works all over the city, and I knew I would like to participate...someday.

I began working on a photo collage piece that evening, and after several days of iterations, color, and small tweaks I submitted the above work.

Which was ultimately accepted as a winner.

The Austin Art Boards competition calls itself the "largest outdoor gallery in Texas". Reagan Advertising maintains their unused OOH large billboards as a curated, rotating art gallery through the Austin metro area.

There was a lovely award event and ceremony where I met many of the other artists and got to see a TON of amazing works that would be introduced to the city.

We were told our works will be on rotation for as long as the vinyl billboards last.
