The Experience…… 

One question I often get asked is “Where do you get your inspiration from?” It’s almost impossible to answer this question in any meaningful at a show. Not with the time we are often given. You have to understand the studio itself, what I call the hoard. In the studio I have amassed a collection of bones, shells, stones, seeds, nuts, and a whole assortment of miscellaneous debris from 20 years of operating an assemblage studio. It is from this mass the sculptures are born. You have to understand the concept of emergence, and human natures tendency to seek the familiar in chaos, or its tendency towards pattern recognition. You have to understand how these things can be a brush with the Uncanny Valley. These are difficult concepts to articulate in the short amount of time we have when we meet face to face in the world. So I have decided to open the studio to the public.

I would like to introduce the Haven Meadows Experience. For a small fee, I will welcome you into the studio to take part in the creative process. You will see the hoard first hand. I will walk you through my process. I will show you the very beginning when a sculptures face emerges. I will show you why and how the finishing touches are made. The studio will be open to you. You will see how it is done. You will have the opportunity to contribute a verse. And we will discuss the philosophy that drives this art, as well as my philosophy on the purpose of art in the world. ( Plot twist, it has everything to do with you, the audience.)

As an added bonus, you will get a personal showing of the gallery, including the private collection of sculptures not for sale, and you may choose a 5x7 shadow box to take home as my gift to you. The Haven Meadows Studio and Gallery is located in our beautiful lakeside home on the western shore of Lake Corpus Christi TX. This location is remote, and lodging is available through our AirBnb listing which you may book by clicking HERE.
