Through his unique technical processes, Paul Guillaume crafts visual narratives that challenge conventional photographic boundaries. Guillaume, a New Orleans native, creates multi-media works that merge photography, painting, and projection to explore themes of the altered landscape, the family archive, and scientific phenomena. His distinctive artistic approach transforms traditional photography into layered compositions that examine the intersection of personal memory and collective experience.
His work, featured in the permanent collection of the South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center and numerous patron-sponsored collections, reflects his commitment to pushing creative boundaries while engaging in meaningful cultural and philosophical discourse. Guillaume holds degrees from prestigious institutions - a BFA from Indiana University, an MFA from Tufts/The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and an M.Ed. from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Currently based in Las Vegas, he continues his artistic practice while teaching at a middle school fine arts magnet program, where he combines his passion for artistic innovation with educational leadership.
