Travis Jenkins has a passion for art, music,
life and love. He has traveled the world playing music
and sharing his works.
In 1998, while
pursuing a degree in art, Jenkins co-founded the Dove
Award winning rock band Pillar (pillarmusic.com), and
toured with them as their guitar player. In 1999, he received
his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Fort Hays State
University in Hays, Kansas. Soon after, Pillar signed
a record deal with Flicker Records and Jenkins hit the
road full time as a musician giving him the unique opportunity
to sell his artwork all over the world. During his time
with Pillar, Jenkins was honored to meet and or play with
other bands including Switchfoot, P.O.D, Chris Rice, The
Daylights, Audio Adrenaline and many others. His days
with Pillar are cherished and greatly influenced his art
and musical endeavors.
In 2001, Jenkins left Pillar to pursue art full time.
He then moved from Kansas to Nashville, TN, and has sold
over 100 pieces of art to many art collectors including
acclaimed singer/songwriter Chris Rice (Chris Rice.com).
Most recently, Jenkins was invited to create a live "art-worship
painting" during the 2006 National Day of Prayer television
special. This was a huge honor as millions of people tuned
in to see him paint while Rebecca St. James, Barlow Girl
and Warren Barfield performed their music. Today, Jenkins
paints, gives art lessons, and lives in Nashville, TN.
He is and his wife Bekah are currently creating music
together and will begin touring in the near future. Jenkins
purpose is to spread hope, peace, justice and love through
art and music into all the world.
