From Lawyer and Hobbyist to Full-Time Sculptor featuring Nathan Sawaya

Nathan Sawaya was a corporate lawyer for five years and spent his
evenings working with clay, paints, and other materials to
release his creativity.  Eventually, Nathan picked up
LEGO-brand bricks and created an apple, then other items in his
apartment and finally a sculpture.   Nathan’s talent with
these bricks led Nathan to create a website to display his
artwork. 


After his website, Brick Artist, crashed from too many visits,
Nathan stopped practicing law to become an artist full time.
Nathan Sawaya’s sculptures have been displayed in many art
museums, Nathan has created LEGO Oscars  statues for the
2015 Academy Awards, Nathan is a consulting producer on the LEGO
Master show, and Nathan has founded The Art Revolution
Foundation.  Nathan has been commissioned numerous times to
create unique and incredible art from LEGO-brand bricks. 


While many people are familiar with LEGO-brand bricks, Nathan
Sawaya has a partnership with LEGO that allows the company to
send him bricks in specific hues and designs.  In his
California studio, Nathan keeps at least 10 million LEGO-brand
bricks available to him.  Nathan credits his law degree for
preparing him to negotiate with large toy manufacturers and
agents for his commissioned art.
