Jack Stoddart's fine art photographs are attracting attention on a national level. His work is in the permanent collection of several museums including The Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, GA; The Knoxville Museum of Art in Knoxville, TN; the Akwesasne Museum in Hogansburg, NY; Gumtree Museum of Art in Tupelo, MS; Cheekwood Museum of Art in Nashville, TN; and The Museums at Hartwick in Oneonta, NY. He is the focus of a local PBS documentary detailing his thirty-year career photographing life on the Cumberland Plateau. This full length documentary is scheduled to air this fall in Tennessee. The September issue of the Tennessee Magazine will feature an article and cover story. In keeping with a life dedicated to the chronicling of vanishing cultures, his next collection will portray working boats and fishermen from Key West to Nova Scotia and beyond. It remains his choice, creating imagery that transcends décor. Remaining true to the silver gelatin film process with dedication to open tray printmaking sets him apart in a digital age. He produces his art pieces without manipulation, relying instead on many years of dedication to his craft.

Starting in 2003, Jack and his family have maintained a contemporary craft gallery on his farm with over twenty five national artists working in blown glass, clay, and wood to metal sculpture in addition to Jack's revolving display of photographs. You can visit Jack's gallery and studio in Overton County throughout the year by appointment. For more information or directions call 931-445-2072 or visit www.jackstoddart.com
