Growing up in the state of Georgia, GL, wasn't 
surrounded by a lot of art and photography. Early as a 
child, his dream was to be a comic book artist. At the 
age of 14, he interned at IMAGE COMICS. While there 
the artists told him he should take some art classes, 
and find out about the history and techniques of fine 
art. His high school didn't provide any art classes, so it 
wasn't until he went to collage ( Florida State University 
& University of GA ) where he got his first real 
education in fine art.

Throughout his college years, GL, learned many 
techniques, but didn't focus on one particular style. 
Having this mixed media way of art, made him not have 
a focused style, which some teachers questioned yet 
sometimes applauded. It wasn't until graduation where 
one teacher recommended moving to California. GL 
decided look for a graduate school out west, and 
packed up his car to drive cross country to Los Angeles. 

While out in California, he applied to many fine art 
graduate schools. One certain school he applied to had 
a positive response to his fine art work, but they 
happened to not be a fine art school, but a photography 
based school. 

GL was confused, and realized he had emailed the 
wrong school ( both schools were very similar in names 
). Feeling a new energy out in the West, GL, thought it 
was a sign that a photography school came calling, and 
it was something he was never really interested in 
while at school, yet photography like elements were 
highly influential in his work. GL decided to further his 
schooling at the Brooks Institute of Photography, thus 
starting his path into photography.
