about the artist
After receiving degrees from Brevard College and the University of North Carolina, Cunningham resided in Europe for the better part of a year. Based in Lausanne, he spent his time cultivating an appreciation not only for art, but for the cultures and circumstances that inspire it.
When he is not pushing paint around on a canvas, Cunningham maintains a career in the commercial arts as a graphic designer, web site developer, and illustrator.
about the work
“Even when my subject matter isn't human, I try to reflect some aspect of humanity in the work. For example, I'll explore relationships between trees as if they were people. A forest may become a dance, a party, or a street scene.”
