A Gulfport, Mississippi native and recent graduate of the College of Charleston, Timothy Pakron’s concentrated disciplines are photography and painting, sometimes combing the two. His recent oeuvre focuses on nonrepresentational, non-vanity portraits. Some portraits are about abstracting the face while others have religious narratives.  Using the familiarity of the face as a template, his process involves hand painting the developer in the darkroom intentionally revealing certain parts of the negative. Future exhibitions include Contemporary Charleston, 2010  at the City Gallery at Waterfront Park in May and Present Tense at the Rebekah Jacob Gallery in June 2010.
