Laurel sculptor Jason Kimes talks motivation, scale, and process

For Laurel-based sculptor Jason Kimes, art is an obsession. One he couldn’t stop even if he wanted to. He knows because he tried.

Since he can remember, Kimes has been an artist. He was homeschooled as a child to parents with no artistic inclinations but a spark for encouraging his passion. That passion for creation came in the form of hours of art tutors teaching Kimes the basics of painting and other traditional art mediums. It wasn’t until college that he found sculpture, and he has not looked back since.
