Jason Garrett: Artist/Artificer

I’ve always known I was an artist, even before I really knew what that meant. I’ve trained in arts and crafts ranging from traditional blacksmithing to figurative sculpture and painting to stop motion puppet making. After many years of managing teams, from IT departments to bookstores, I left behind my career to become a stay at home Father for my firstborn. As she started to school, so did I, returning to college by enrolling at the University of North Texas. In 2023 I graduated with bachelors of Studio Art, with a focus on Sculpture.

 

For my entire life, the fantasy worlds of the likes of Jim Henson, J.R.R. Tolkien, Melissa McPhail, and George Lucas, have been the stuff my dreams are made of. My wife and I are geeks of the highest order, exuberantly raising two children to take up that mantle. Needless to say, these passions have influenced my artwork. I deal in the fantastical, the magical, and the inexplicable.
