About
Jeremy Cowart’s career consists of chasing ideas in whichever direction they lead him, finding himself in the most random of new situations, moments of success and failures, all while dealing with his own life’s hardships (raising 4 kids - one with special needs - and managing his own neurological disease). From being named the internet’s most influential photographer at one point to speaking in stadiums to kickstarting a hotel chain to launching a worldwide give-back initiative to being featured at an art auction alongside the greatest artists that have ever lived… it’s always something wildly surprising, even for Cowart himself. “I don’t set goals or plan ahead and money never motivates me. It’s always about the idea, always has been and always will be. Some of the ideas fail miserably but the lessons learned are invaluable so I immediately go chase the next one. I’ve done it for 20 years and I’ll do it for the rest of my life. My hope is that the public sees my love for art and love for people throughout all of it."
