Jason Mehl

Raised in Rockwall, Texas, Jason Mehl had his hands in various sculpture medias since his youth.  Though he studied art off and on at various schools and universities,  his true education comes from observing the fluid forms and textures in nature.  He graduated in 2002 with a degree in Environmental Science, and has since lived in the Western U.S., Costa Rica, and South Korea.   Seen in his sculptural works are abstract statements of anatomical association or eroded stone.  Each piece is a personal exploration of humanity and nature, and has influences that range from the massive trees of the Central American Rainforest, to the geological formations of the American West, and even Asia.  In even his most abstract works there is still something deeply familiar to the viewer.
