Travis Parr

Co-Founder & Artist

Travis Parr, known as “PARR” by those who know his work, is a father, artist and an entrepreneur. Parr chooses a life of the arts - of ‘magical realism’. His art and his life embody this elemental principle. His work attracts an array of personal collectors around the world. He is a painter, sculptor, and illustrator. With roots in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, he is an avid backcountry skier/snowboarder, woodsman, and pathfinder. After graduating from Laguna College of Art and Design with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art, he returned to his hometown of Evergreen, Colorado to launch and establish Icelantic Skis, where he has been the co-founder and art director for the past 16 years. Transcending form and evoking passion, his work has been featured internationally in galleries, commercial spaces, and entertainment venues.

He currently resides in Laguna Beach with his family.
