Tharren Keith is an artist, graphic designer, photographer, painter, and potter whose work is inspired by the beauty found in both nature and humanity. A graduate of Hawkeye Community College with a degree in Art and Photography, he began his creative career in graphic design before working for many years as a professional photographer. Today, his artistic practice includes painting, pottery, photography, and mixed-media works that capture meaningful experiences, the beauty of nature, and the stories that connect us. Outside the studio, he enjoys climbing mountains, exploring the outdoors, and observing the unique qualities that make every person who they are.

His featured collection, Faces of Unity, was created through portraits of more than 50 individuals and a film behind the portraits, representing a wide range of races, religious beliefs, political perspectives, and life experiences. Through this series, Tharren hopes to encourage viewers to look beyond differences and see the shared humanity that connects us all, reminding us that unity begins with recognizing the value and dignity in every person.
