Stones are the color pallet and canvas of successful Texas sculpture rock artistCarlos Moseley….a descendent of famous 1850's Texan J.R. Couts….born and
raised in Guadalajara, Mexico….an American citizen.
Carlos has lived in Texas for over 25 years, and has been a
resident of the Texas Hill Country since 1995….living on a ranch nestled in oak trees touching the spring fed
Pedernales River in Gillespie County, justoutside Fredericksburg,
Texas.
Carlos has always held a
passion for nature, photography, gourmet cooking and music, all of which led to the unique discovery of
"Rustic River Rock Art". Years of collecting unique stones and rocks developed into his extraordinary
artistic rock designs.
A unique process is used
to collect native local stones and rocks with a procedure that does not disturb the environment….all his work
is above ground. Some of the flint stones were used by early native Apache and Comanche Indians who
lived in the area.
Carlos's lovely wife Carol
is no stranger to Texas History as her early relatives were German immigrants….original 1800's settlers of
the Texas Hill Country. Carol plays an important part in this unique and successful art
enterprise….handling all the business logistics along with creating the clever names for each one-of-a-kind
rock art collections.
Carlos can focus on the
artistic inspirations formed from the art studio…. surrounded by rocks, stones and pebbles that
are waiting to be discovered. These popular rock art creations are displayed in galleries and shown
throughout Texas and various other states.
These art forms have found
their way to Europe via Spain, Great Britain and Germany….each with unique names such as Western Bow Legged
Bill, Indian War Parties, Shady Lady, Ladies of the Cross, Dancehall Cowgirls and Bonnie &
Clyde.
There are no boundaries as
the unique characters and art settings can be historical, early western history, basketball, fish, rock
climbing, funny faces, wines and weddings and golfers.
Carlos and Carol form a
unique team as they travel across Texas and other states presenting their art in various fine art
shows….receiving special recognition such as "Best of Show Ribbon Winners".
"Carlos has a real love affair with his
fine rock art characters and admits he finds reluctance to let them go."
