Moon Taxis - Mixed Media Creations by Rodolfo Alonso

Growing up in Mendoza, Argentina, Efren Alonso--known by his middle name Rodolfo--started his art career early. NASA and 80's TV shows involving space travel inspired his young imagination as he created his own toys.

Rodolfo has been in the U.S. for about ten years, and on Lopez Island for three years. He met his wife Ingela in New York State where he worked in several automotive fields. This mechanical experience also influences his current creations.

Flexible work hours as a MacGyver-style handyman on Lopez have allowed him to continue his youthful interest in greater depth. With skill and imagination, Rodolfo transforms recyclable materials and found objects into art.

Enjoy the ride!
