Atlanta artist Jym Davis describes himself as a myth builder. And that’s true. But the creative, better known as “False Face,” is also a sculptor, photographer, online content curator and five-time National Park artist in residence.

The artist then wears the masks in natural settings and captures their essence using performative photography. Davis also serves as the Endowed Chair of the Art Department at Reinhardt University in Waleska, Georgia.
