Anthony Owens

A. W. Owens is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of fine-art photography, poetry, and visual storytelling. With a foundation in painting, printmaking, and graphic design, his practice centers on memory, solitude, and the emotional weight of everyday places. Owens earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and is currently completing a Master of Fine Arts in Photography. He is the author of several poetry collections: The Women, Meant for Me, Where Pigeons Rest, and Payments of Living, and the expanded edition of The Women, which incorporates AI-assisted artwork. His ongoing photographic project American Loneliness functions as a visual poem: each image carries its own emotional resonance while contributing to a larger, layered narrative about presence, distance, and absence.
