Gallagher is a self-taught artist currently located in Burns, Kansas USA.  His experience with art includes wood carving, writing fiction, steelwork, and large scale mechanical sculpture, though he is best known for his work as a Conceptual Fine Art Photographer. Gallagher primarily utilizes photography to bring awareness to mental health issues troubling society today as well as environmental awareness.

​

Gallagher and his peers began a collaborative Facebook initiative to create a body of work titled, “I’m F.I.N.E” which stands for “Feeling I’m Not Enough.” His goal for the project is to uncover what people mean when they say they are “Fine” by creating photographs around common and uncommon trigger words. He strives to create what is hard to express and understand about ourselves, wanting people who view his work to feel understood, to feel that they aren’t alone in the world… because they aren’t. He understands how important it is for people to feel connected and less alone and aims to enrich as many people as possible through this body of work. Mental health awareness is a topic that he feels deeply passionate about and knows that if one person can feel less alone because of his images, then he has served the purpose of “I’m F.I.N.E”

​

Gallagher is deep into the planning of his next chapter as an artist, sketches are being drawn, and stories written. This next step is an extensive Conceptual Fine Art series on deforestation in Europe that will be photographed in the north of Sweden in some of the most beautiful forests in the world. Gallagher’s first passion in life is nature, so it is no surprise that he is combining it with his second greatest passion of photography.

​

Gallagher is a firm believer that Art is about community first and foremost, not just the local community, but the global community. This is why Gallagher welcomes your emails or social media reach outs. To him, art serves the primary purpose of starting a discussion.
