Find Kurt Smiley in his studio in the Santa Cruz mountains or on the coast of Costa Rica. No matter where he is, Kurt is always crafting.
“It is quite satisfying to make something out of nothing - nothing being an old barbecue or some trash that can be reassembled, reconfigured, and turned into something new. Creating something that can raise an eyebrow or make a smile is really all I’m trying to do.” - Kurt Smiley
