Tom Kupsh received his training in sculpture at the San Francisco Academy of Art and the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In the 1970s and 1980s, Kupsh worked for Alex Jordan, as his sculptor, at The House on the Rock. After Alex’s death in 1989, Kupsh became Creative Director of The House on the Rock, remaining in that position for ten years. In 2007, after seven years of independent studio work, Kupsh returned to The House on the Rock as Creative Consultant, Sculptor, and Building Designer. His first book, "A Mythic Obsession: The World of Dr. Evermor," was published by Chicago Review Press in 2008. "Never Enough" is Kupsh’s second book.
