Anthony Jacks is a Marine Corps combat veteran, writer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Reno, Nevada. His work blends photography, memoir, and visual storytelling to explore themes of transition, resilience, time, and the quiet places nature reveals — especially in the vast, unforgiving beauty of the high desert.

Rooted in sagebrush country, cottonwoods, and endless desert sky, A.J. chases moments where stillness meets flight — night stretched into starlight, abandoned structures weathering the years, and raptors rising sharply into wind. His work lives at the meeting place of memory and land, where the past feels close and the future wide open.

Focused on liminal light and the poetry of place, he searches for beauty in the unique and meaning inside change. His debut memoir, War Child, traces his journey through conflict, trauma, healing, and reinvention.

Every project — from photography to writing — is part of a single mission: to turn experience into art and to honor the long road home, where desert silence and open sky remind us that peace is found where we dare to look.
