This originally started as one thing, and became something else, and I love that I don’t know what animal this is. #whatdidyoudotoday #makethings #ashevilleartist #woodworking taken in Asheville, North Carolina by @simple_compositions

AUGUST ART SHOW 🐋
On the walls this month at Harvest:

Justin Haggerty (@simple_compositions) is a self-taught artist based in Asheville whose work celebrates the beauty of everyday life — plants, flowers, animals, and people — through a style defined by simplicity. Working primarily on plywood and more recently punch needle embroidery, his visual signature is built from lines and dots, a minimalist approach that highlights the essence of each figure without too much complexity.

Originally from New York, with creative chapters in Austin and now Asheville, his journey as an artist is deeply connected to a personal transformation. After getting sober eleven years ago, art became not just a practice but a new identity — a source of purpose, clarity, and connection. What began as a creative outlet has grown into a passion that continues to shape his life in meaningful ways. taken in Harvest Records by @simple_compositions

My “vanity metrics” have gone down considerably over time. It’s a bummer and can bruise the ego of an artist. But sometimes you don’t care because you love something so much. I fucking LOVE this painting. That’s all that matters to me. ✌️ #woodcutout #ashevilleartist #woodcutouts #asheville taken in Asheville, North Carolina by @simple_compositions
