Oscar Latham
 
|

|
Oscar's affinity for carving stone may have
originated in his teen years as he developed a love for hunting
arrowheads and unusual stones on farms and ranches in Central
Texas. His earliest work experience was hauling limestone rocks out
of the fields and at the very least, this type of work did motivate
him to pursue and education in Social Work. While working on a
Master's Degree in San Antonio, experiences in and out of the
classroom caused Oscar to reflect upon his life. These events led
to his search for metaphysical understanding, which continues to
this day.
Approximately, five years ago, Oscar had a strong
premonition, during a daily meditation, that he needed to carve
stone. Having no artistic training, he began a self-taught process
of playing with the sculpturing of stone. The process brought him
peace of mind . In all humility, Oscar feels that if any of his
works bring an inspiration to others, it is simply the result of an
intuitive process and indeed, does involve a great degree of
spiritual guidance. His hand tools seem to be guided and he is as
surprised as anyone else at the sculptures that emerge from the
stone. Much of Oscar's work focuses upon his own limitations and
the spiritual growth necessary for slowly learning the art of love,
patience, compassion and serving mankind.
