About the Artist...
Alan Casey
Listed in the Who's Who of
Professional Photography, handicapped photographic artist and watercolor
painter Alan Casey creates original landscape and nature images for
decorating homes, offices and corporate facilities. His work is
exhibited in galleries and juried art shows throughout the Southeastern
United States. His widely acclaimed photographs have been
published in national magazines, newspapers, and periodicals. Both his
stunning photographs and his beautiful watercolor paintings have become
a part of numerous corporate and private collections internationally.

At age 20, Alan was stricken with rheumatoid arthritis. This
debilitating disease progressed quickly, severely limiting Alan's use of
his hands, arms and legs. Although handicapped, his passion for
photography and painting would not be limited by his affliction.
In 1985, Alan opened his Marietta, Georgia studio, photographing décor
images, commercial assignments, weddings and portraits. His
commercial clients include such companies as the Bank of America,
Nabisco Foods, Road & Track Magazine, Guide To Georgia Magazine and Fox
Television, who has selected Alan’s photographs to use as set
decorations for the hit television show “Prison Break”.
Alan conducts photographic and painting workshops and seminars and is a
member of the Professional Photographers of America and the Southeastern
Professional Photographers Association.

Artist’s Statement
Unlike many others, I never set
out purposefully to become an artist: it is something that just happened
to me in my pursuits of self-fulfillment through photography and
painting.

“Rise early and
seize each day, follow without question where God leads, learn much and
use this knowledge well, spend time with those you love, never abuse
your pets, use logic to fight the irrational for it is everywhere,
defend the environment and nature, meld mind and heart for greatest
creativity, follow your dreams and always do your best."
With these
overall convictions as a basic template, my artistic vision is to create
images that reveal the exquisite beauty of God’s hand all around us. I
am compelled to capture the natural environment in the form of
landscapes and nature, striving to create soothing images of simplicity
and serenity. Choosing to portray simpler times, something familiar,
closer to home, with uniqueness in the paths I follow that have been
there all the while, waiting to be traveled by a roamer such as myself.
