Elihu Carranza
Born in San Jose, California. during the second year of high school I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, serving in combat during the Viet Nam War. Upon leaving military service, I participated in San Jose State University’s Humanities and Science Program, a two-year study, followed by degrees from Stanford University of Palo Alto, Columbia University of New York City, and in 1989 I graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary of Philadelphia.
Since 1978, I have worked from my studio and home in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
"Creation's work, done with creativity, will never lack creative supply."
The collages draw their expression from what is provided as the most simple forms, shapes, colors, lines, textures, even words and sentences.When brought together in the harmony of "creation's work" become a portrait of a magical worldview and a Kingdom...even as a mere piece of paper glued upon another.
