"Kevin is a great craftsman... he understands that sculpture is about rhythm and movement. ...He has an intellectual engagement, a sense of making the sculpture work, rather than just welding things together. He's using the principles of design that have been time-honored through art history." -- Michael Stack, Professor of Art, Tucson, Arizona

His sculptures evoke emotion and thought in art enthusiasts and collectors around the world through commissions as well as in galleries and shows. Caron was born in 1960 in Stratford, Connecticut, and has enjoyed traveling the world. He has lived in Phoenix, Arizona, since 1972 with his wife, Mary.

About Kevin Caron

Born in Stratford, Connecticut, in 1960, Kevin Caron didn't stay there long. His family moved to Florida when he was still a boy, and then before too much longer, to Arizona, where he lives today.

People often ask him what brought him to this Southwestern paradise. "My parents said, 'Get in the car,'" he replies.

During his service in the U.S. Navy, Kevin maintained aircraft support equipment in Misawa, Japan, on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, and Yuma, Arizona. When the Navy insisted he serve on an actual ship, this desert rat decided to instead return to Buckeye, Arizona, where he ran a foreign car repair shop for a dozen years.

His interest in fixing vehicles next led to driving them. Kevin drove a tractor trailer for 13 years. He also traveled the world, enjoying the cultures and people he met along the way. During that time, he began turning his eye toward sculpture. He worked part time at his art for a handful of years before becoming a full-time artist in 2006.

Today he lives with his wife Mary, their dog and cat in Phoenix in the shadow of Camelback Mountain.
