He has educated photography students at Maine College of Art, University of Southern Maine, SMCC, Virginia Commonwealth University, Longwood College, Virginia Tech, and John Tyler Community College, through courses including black and white photography, photographic processes and techniques, photojournalism, personal expression workshops and commercial studio photography.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">Thurston’s work has been featured in many national and international fine art exhibitions as well as several feature films, including a one man shows at The Southeast Center of Contemporary Art in Winston Salem NC, and The Anderson Gallery in Richmond VA. Distinguished by numerous awards, Thurston is a Polaroid grant recipient and was awarded a Virginia Commission for the Arts fellowship. Thurston is one of four distinguished Virginia artists whose work was featured in “The State of The Arts in Virginia”, a recent exhibit in the Senate offices in Washington, DC where his documentary photographs of Virginians were featured.
