Travis Childers, a recipient of several awards and grants, including recognition from the renowned paint manufacturer Liquitex, uses his art to engage viewers in a unique exploration of memory and daily life. This body of work features intricate mixed media collages with elements that focus on whole faces, eyes, and vegetation. Childers’ innovative use of tape in his collages highlight the way details can be both preserved and lost over time, intentionally or unintentionally.

Childers’ work is rooted in the ordinary, which he elevates through his creative process. As the artist explains, “My creativity does not come from the extraordinary but the everyday and the mundane, and with those I find endless amounts of inspiration.” His art challenges viewers to see their daily activities in a new light, making the familiar unfamiliar through his compelling techniques.

Travis Childers holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland. His work has been exhibited across the United States and the United Kingdom, both independently and as part of group shows.
