About the Artist: Garrett Seal

He went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Mississippi State University, followed by a Master of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

“I am a representational artist, primarily inspired by scenes from everyday life—especially landscapes and places. I work in oil, acrylic, and watercolor, using both photographic references and painting on location in the en plein air tradition. I’m drawn to capturing the interplay of light and shadow, aiming to bring each scene to life. My goal is to reflect the moment as I experience and see it.”
