Artist – Len Favara

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Many years ago when I first moved to New York City, I met Len Favara. He was an Art Director at Trahey Advertising. Lucky for me he hired me to be his assistant. Trahey Advertising later became Peter Rogers Associates and Len and I continued to work together for 9 years. Back then I was always bugging him because he wasn’t painting. About six years ago he invited me to a showing of his work in Punta Gorda, Florida. He inspired me to get more serious about my work.

He takes everyday people in everyday situations and glorifies them. He brings back a simpler time in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. He is represented at the Presseller Gallery.

I’m a little behind in my blogging. I promise to do better.

On May 10th a group of us from the South Florida Artist Association went gallery hopping in the Design and Wynwood districts of Miami. Our friend Jacklyn Laflamme shows her work at the Art Fusion Gallery in the Design District. Her work is fun, vibrant, colorful.

I captured this example of her work from her site. jacklynlaflamme.com Visit her on the second Saturday of the month at Art Fusion Gallery. It’s worth the trip.
