About Me
I grew up in Boulder, Colorado. As a child, I was surrounded by a loving hippy community that cherished nature and lived against the grain with a family that nourished my creative side. My first camera was given to me at the age of twelve, a Yashica 35mm film camera. They offered dark room classes at my middle school and I quickly enrolled in them. Spending my time turning the family cat into my model.
I attended school at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with an emphasis in painting. I graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Art in 2009.
I made the decision to move to Kailua Kona, Hawaii in 2011. Where I spent the next eight years on the Big Island. It was while in this remote island chain that I discovered sailing. In the winter of 2017, I made a huge leap of faith and moved to Bocas Del Toro, Panama, to follow a dream of ocean travel. I sailed from Panama to Cayman Islands and Cuba before settling in Grand Cayman where I worked as a portrait and family photographer.
In October 2019, I took a position aboard a 103ft power yacht which brought be back to the states. Exploring Florida, the keys and the Bahamas. This past spring I received my USCG captain's license and plan to continue my travels by boat with hopes of documenting our dying oceans and unique cultures.
My influences include: Sally Mann, Cindy Sherman, Francesca Woodman, Alfred Stieglitz, and Dorothea Lange, along with my painting influences of Willem De Kooning, Edouard Manet, Mark Rothko and Robert Rauschenberg.
Although old and outdated, feel free to visit my blog: Diary Of A Bus, to learn read about my life at Groovy Groves aboard my F450 turtle top bus, The Aloha Wagon. You can also follow my growing Video Blog on YouTube.
I am currently back in my hometown of Boulder, Colorado. Feel free to contact with any questions, thoughts or inspirations at cmwayant@gmail.com.
Many Mahalo's!
Aloha!
