Pet portraits by Lopresti in New York

Hello, I am a classically trained visual artist, and my speciality is figure art and realism. I have an MFA in traditional painting and drawing techniques, and spent 15 years studying and teaching full time at the Art Students League of New York, winning awards and scholarships during my tenure. I mostly do portraiture and mural work for a living now. I work part time as a commercial mural artist with companies, and I’ve completed large scale murals with companies such as Adidas, Red Bull, White Claw, Spotify, Netfix, Amazon, Porsche, and H&M. I can do realism, and I have extensive experience doing lettering and signage work, as well. I am currently on here looking for portraiture work (I mostly do finished graphite piece and oil paintings) , and large scale residential or commercial paintings (I can do latex/acrylic or enamel/oil.)
