Renowned sculptor, artist, and educator Charles (Chuck) Parson joins artist Devon Parson to
explore a family legacy shaped by decades of formal mastery, extensive exhibition experience, and philosophical creative expression. Through reflections on lived life experiences, personal narratives, and stories rooted in specific moments along their artistic journeys, the conversation reveals how art is informed by the southwestern landscape, communities, and events that shape an artist’s life. This collaborative lecture bridges Chuck’s extensive career in monumental public art with Devon’s modern, process-oriented approach, following their consecutive solo exhibitions at the Trinidad Carnegie Public Library
