Kevin Crawford
Kevin Crawford
is one of the three founding partners of Sandscapes.
Kevin was born in Columbus, Ohio and was raised in several parts of the
country, thus preparing him for the nomadic life style of professional sand
sculptor.
After high school in Prescott,
Arizona,
Kevin moved to California
to go to college. Upon his completion of a BA degree in Psychology Kevin
found gainful employment as a production machinist. After a couple of years
of this blue collar lifestyle Kevin decided to go back to school where he got
his Masters degree in Architecture at Cal Poly University in Pomona, CA.
After graduation he spent four years working in architecture before deciding
to turn to professional sand sculpture.
Kevin got involved in sand sculpture through sand sculpting
competitions at the beach. After winning numerous contests, it was inevitable
that he would become an integral part of early professional sand sculpture.
After several years of work experience, Kevin along with his two partners
formed Sandscapes in 1992. In the past 7 years Sandscapes has risen to the
top of the sand sculpting world.
Even though Kevin is busy full time doing professional sand
sculpture at fairs, festivals and shopping centers, he hasn't forgotten his
beginnings at the beach. Every year along with his partners he competes at
the World Sand Sculpting Championship at Harrison
Hot Springs
in British Columbia,
Canada.
Evidently his experience has shown through, as he has won nine world titles.
