Year 4 Neptune

Rodrigo McCoubrey

Born 1954

A self-proclaimed enviro-folk artist, McCoubrey takes the negative aspects of waste and reinvents it as fun, positive art pieces.

"The nature of my work is "FUN". The materials I incorporate in my pieces are primarily recycled and found objects. My resources remain readily available, from dumpster's to roadsides, empty lots to my most favorite of all, Baja California dumpsites (every town has at least one!). The direction of my work depends upon life's inspirations and those emotions that dwell within me, ever changing and constantly evolving."
