About the Item
Born in Santa Cruz, California, KC Haxton traveled the country with his family, gathering experiences that shaped his unique view of the world at a young age, never living in one place for longer than a few months. His earliest art memory is falling asleep in his highchair when he was drawing. Early in 2002, KC bought a roll of canvas and some paints. He holed up in his garage, which he had transformed into a studio, and got to work. He painted constantly for weeks. His friends and family started to worry, but KC knew that art had to be made. One month later, KC sold his first painting. Then, he sold another one, and then another.
KC describes his style of painting as romantic, satiric, funny, bold, and delicate. His favorite artists are Sarah Stockstill, his mother, and Jeff Buckley. Hanging upon the walls of his home is a painting that his friend Xander painted for him. Says KC about creative inspiration, “I try to find things that make me tingle and go from there!”. When plagued with artist’s block, KC looks at other artists’ work, has a glass of wine, and “. . . above all — and I forget this often — BREATHE!” When asked if he was Felix Unger or Oscar Madison in the studio, KC said, “I start out tidy, and then the nuclear explosion in the studio happens and it’s all a big mess.” Working primarily with acrylics and collage materials, KC loves that he can explore new styles easily, and constantly improve on them. He begins a painting with a plan in place, but as he paints, he allows “bits of spontaneity” along the way. His art has never been stationary, it is constantly changing and evolving as he explores.
“Art is a medium that opens the door into the unknown and provides a platform to explore, indulge, and grow. Art provides the stage for the experience and is infinite in its possibility.” KC would like to expand his creative repertoire by singing and playing in a band. When he’s not creating art, he loves to cook for others, play music, and “. . play with other people.” KC Haxton now lives and works in Los Angeles, California, painting his heart out and loving every minute. To him, art is not a self-indulgent emotionally introspective downward spiral. He paints “All day, every day, all night, every night. Art is in every breath.”
