Corwin Levi is a visual artist who wakes up drawing cloud monsters, adds in the children who chase the cloud monsters away after his coffee, studies the stars when they come out at night, and the way people paint them when the city is too bright to pick any out. He consults with explorers who have traveled to the stars to see what makes them shine and wonders why Sally says some stars shine like seashell shores. In pursuit of such interests, Corwin uses a variety of media including paintings, drawings, children's books, sculpture, video, and music. He has a BA from Rice University, an MFA from the Tyler School of Art, and has participated in shows and residencies around the world.
