About the artist

John "Raven" DeBaun has dabbled in various art forms for as long as he can remember. His current and favorite medium of twisted wire shows his eclectic nature and ability to twist ordinary objects into fantastical creatures and objects. You can see his artwork peeking out at you from any crook or cranny in his home, studio and classroom. John's full time job as a high school English teacher provides him with an endless supply of inspiration.

All of his pieces are hand made with careful attention to detail. An average metal sculpture takes about 10 hours just to make the body and an additional 12-20 hours to make the clothes, eyes and other fantastical faire. John's twisted individuals are great companions for any home, office, or car and you can be sure that all of his sculptures are one of a kind.

John DeBaun was born in Sacramento, California in the early 1970's and moved extensively due to his parent's military career. He moved to Texas in 1989 to attend TCU where he graduated from in 1993 with his degree in English. John currently resides in the Dallas area with his muse, lifelong love, and wife (luckily for him they're all the same person!) When John is not teaching you can find him happily twisting wire while watching the Sci-Fi channel to add more Fey to the twisted family.
