My landscape and nature pieces represent what I love most about photography and about Kansas. The images are the result of driving through the country roads, finding the perfect spot and getting lost in my art as the sun sets or rises. Colorful skies, green and golden grass and gravel roads inherently find their way into my photography of Kansas, and one of my favorite things is when viewers tell me it reminds them of home.
 
Biography
Jeremy Wangler is a lifelong Midwesterner and a photographer who lives in Topeka, Kansas. Like so many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes during the year 2020. Jeremy used that time to focus on his art and turn photography from a hobby to a chance to use the artform to tell a story, raise awareness and show the beauty of our world. He had his first experience exhibiting works with two photographs selected to the Hays Arts Council (Kansas) 2020-21 Five State juried competition. He then had his photograph, "7" win second place in the Ellington-White Contemporary Art Gallery's Art and Social Justice II, a national juried exhibition. Since then, he has shown in numerous locations and has permanent studio space at Amused Gallery and Gifts in the NOTO Arts & Entertainment District in Topeka, Kansas. He had his first invited solo show at an art gallery in May 2024 at the Manhattan (Kansas) Arts Center. Jeremy moved to Topeka in 2005 after growing up in Omaha, Nebraska. He loves his medium-sized city and how close he can feel to the pulse of the community or how remote and secluded he can feel just minutes from his home. Jeremy earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 2004 and has worked in creative communications ever since, working at three different Midwestern universities. He loves being behind the scenes, telling stories of people doing great things. In spring of 2020, Jeremy enrolled at Washburn University to seek a bachelor of art in art to hone his photographic skills and broaden his overall artistic skills and appreciations.
