Erick Schaudies (b.1946 – d.2008) was the co-founder of
K Space Art Studios in 1995, along with his wife Raychelle who together with Day Wheeler, originally had the idea for a space to work with other artists. Excited to get back to making sculptures again after a long hiatus (with his new wife/new life’s push), he made it happen when meeting with his long-time friend Tim Clower who owns the old Kress Building.
Erick was larger than life, spilled over with enthusiasm, and always seemed to make you feel like you were the most important person in the room with conversations ranging anywhere from politics to the philosophy of life, to the Mayan Culture, to art and anything in between. Always learning, sharing, and exploring whatever was exciting to
him in life.
