Raised in Monahans Texas
Artist Statement “ROMANTIC GETAWAY – PALMERTREE ISLAND” In my latest Sculptures I try to convey all of my childhood influences in an abstract form. I grew up in a very small and remote west Texas town. 1980’s Cartoons, Music Videos and Sitcoms provided an escape from my everyday life. The influences for these Sculpture are a mix of cheap vending machine toys, Magnum P.I., Fantasy Island, Love Boat, The Mysterious Cities Of Gold and Stevie Wonder’s “Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants”. In this work, I try to capture the same fun and Tongue-in- cheek energy these influences give me. |
