Doug Stenner (b.1969 – d.2020) and twin brother, Brett were of the original “K Four” (coined by Doug), that helped build the Studios from the beginning when Erick and Raychelle set up the co-op in 1995. The Schaudies’ met the Stenner’s at a party and they were gung ho to join the mission to bring studio spaces and big ideas for alternative art to the city of Corpus. K Space sky-rocketed from there.
Doug continued with the K, and opened the Core Gallery (in current gift shop space) until 1998. He also worked many years as a clay assistant to Bill Wilhelmi. This sudden news of his recent passing has added to our sadness of missing K-family members. Rest in peace, dear brother.
