Larry has been creating ‘full-blown’ installations that enchant both young and old for over thirty years. Airigami projects, including the 5-story Airigami Balloon Adventure, a 10,000 square foot haunted house known as Balloon Manor, and the Fantastic Flying Octopus have been the subject of much local, national, and international media attention. Larry, along with his wife and partner Kelly Cheatle, has showcased their unique fine art and award-winning illustration work around the world. Together, they’ve made fine art accessible to a wider audience and continue to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation.
