Wilson is a regionalist photographer documenting architectural structures and scenes throughout Illinois where he resides. His photographs have recently appeared in exhibitions at the Black Box Gallery, Portland, Oregon; Midwest Center for Photography, Wichita, Kansas; and PhotoSpiva 2020 National Photography Competition, Joplin, Missouri. Wilson was a medical/surgical and generalist photographer and writer in the health care field for 33 years. “I photograph the everyday, the familiar in unfamiliar places. ‘The mundane is given its beautiful due in that it is photographed at all,’ suggests photographer Anna Shustikova. Structures left behind, dated, discarded, or those I find a bit curious. Rural communities, along back-roads, and within once-thriving urban neighborhoods; these are my vistas. I am hopeful that my photographs are reminders of humanness, culture, and community.”
