Houston, TX- Lego certified professional artist, Sean Kenney’s “Nature Connects” Lego art is coming to the Houston Botanic Garden, beginning September 24, 2022 through February 19, 2023. Kenney’s art exhibits nature of all kinds in great detail using the small plastic blocks.
Sean Kenney has been creating jaw dropping, and meticulous life-sized masterpieces for over fifteen years. You may have seen some of his work for Target, when he made a replica of their mascot, Bullseye or a replica of the classic Louisville Slugger Bat at the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, that I got to see myself when I visited Louisville, Kentucky three weeks ago.
The talented artist has won multiple awards for his exhibitions, has a children’s book, “Building Amazing Creations” that features some of his sculptures, as well as step by step books on how to make some of your own incredible Lego art, and videos on Kenney himself explaining the spark of inspiration and process behind some of his show pieces.
A supersized monarch butterfly, humming bird feeding from a trumpet flower, American bald eagle, prey mantis, and a giant lily, are just a few of the beautifully detailed pieces that you will be able to see on display at the Botanic Garden.
Kenney hopes that his “Nature Connects” exhibit will inspire visitors to get creative and enjoy making their own art and value nature.
