Howdy Nation! In today’s post, we are going to be featuring our ‘Artist Spotlight’ of the week: Casey Parlette. A naturalist at heart, Casey credits his adventures and anthropological studies to inspire and influence his octopus art. He will be showing us how he made a large metal octopus as well as a wooden version!

Meet Casey Parlette!
Growing up in Southern California, Casey Parlette spent a lot of time among the local wildlife as he explored the nearby hills and ocean. Inspired by the fish, birds, and plants he saw, he began sculpting at a young age.

After graduating from UCLA with a degree in anthropology, Casey was recruited to work as a commercial diver and a career ocean lifeguard.

He also has operated underwater cameras in exotic seas for the award-winning TV series Inside Sportfishing and adventured into remote areas of the world!

On top of all that, he’s an artist!

In today’s post, we will be showing some of Casey’s art pieces. Let’s check them out!
