Bio:
Tex Jernigan was born in Sherman, Texas; raised in Dallas, Texas; and lives in Kansas City, Missouri. After completing his BFA Degree in Sculpture from Kansas City Art Institute in 2007, he embarked on a four month tour of the western United States, creating and exhibiting several installations at sites including the Harveyville Project in Kansas; the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City, Nebraska; the Art Farm at Grand Island, Nebraska; Colorado Art Ranch in Durango, Colorado; and Scottsdale Center for Public Art in Scottsdale, Arizona.

These sculptural installations combine Jernigan's ongoing interest in perspective with a participatory, performative component, as people are invited to stand, and be photographed within, his illusionistic constructions. (These portraits are made available for free online at www.texjernigan.com.) Jenigan's work has also been featured in group exhibitions at venues including Stonefox, NYC; Roots and Culture Project, Chicago; Robert Frazier Gallery, Kansas City; and the Dallas Museum of Art.
