About

About —

Jeremiah Ariaz received his BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and MFA from the State University of New York at Buffalo. His artworks explore the West as both a physical space and a terrain for the imagination. His most recently completed project, LOUISIANA TRAIL RIDERS is a bridge between his long-standing interest in the American West and his current home in the South. UL Press released a monograph of the work in 2018. Ariaz is a Professor at Louisiana State University.
