JAY DUSARD
Jay Dusard was awarded a 1981 Guggenheim
Fellowship in Photography and has received two
book awards. Having studied with Ansel Adams and
Frederick Sommer, he established himself as not
only a consummate creator of images, but one of
the finest black-and-white printmakers.

With work published, exhibited and in collections
worldwide, Dusard is best known for his images
of working cowboys and landscapes of the North
American West. Jay taught photography for seven
years at Prescott College, Arizona, and has conducted workshops for nearly forty years. In 1992 he was nominated for the Kodak World Image Award for Fine Art Photography. His solo books are The North American Cowboy: A Portrait and Open Country. He collaborated on La Frontera: The United States Border with Mexico with Alan Weisman, Beyond the Rangeland Conflict: Toward a West that Works with Dan Dagget, and Horses with Thomas McGuane.

Jay Dusard lives with his wife, Kathie, and their horses near Douglas, Arizona, where, between travels to photograph and teach, he finds time to punch cows and play jazz cornet.
