Who is the Artist?
I couldn't find much on the artist Kevin Iris, who is the man who makes these pieces of art. He is still looking for a studio to work on his art as of the moment and lives in Wisconsin. He owned 20 bonsai trees at one point and had his own little forest in his home. He shaped them how he wanted to by wrapping the bonsai in wires to make them grow into how he wanted them to look, but realized making bonsai's and other trees with wires was something he liked to do and ran with it. He does not have his own website, but posts all of his works on DeviantArt (linked below) and has been posting for 8 years, and has 112 posts on the site. He likes "wind sports" because they have a small carbon footprint, and claims to be a "treenut" in his DeviantArt Profile. The Artists Website https://www.deviantart.com/kaitrees/ Why is This Artists Artwork Inspire You/Draw You In? I am drawn in by how well made his pieces of artwork are, because they are very big yet still made carefully down to each leaf on the tree. The fact that this happened by accident from somebody that was just passionate about shaping bonsai trees, to be able to be paid to make something he liked, have his artwork be presented at art shows, and be able to sell them and make a living out of it is extraordinary. It shows that art doesn't have to be forced, it can just happen, just like how he was just shaping his personal bonsai trees when he started using wires on trees.
