Joaquin Cortez
Joaquin Cortez, a lifelong visual artist from North Texas, with a background in traditional art mediums, also studied computer animation at the Art Institute of Dallas before he found his true artistic calling during a fateful beach vacation in July 2014. It was there that he received a transformative sandcastle lesson from "The Amazin' Walter," instantly igniting a deep passion. Cortez's commitment to sand sculpture embarked on a journey of travel and intensive training. Through thousands of miles traveled from beaches and festivals created in sand, he captivated the public with his awe-inspiring art, evoking countless heartwarming reactions and garnering media attention. Driven by his childhood dream of inspiring others through meaningful art projects, Joaquin continues to carve his path forward, also carving wood, stone, and concrete. www.eventsculptures.com
