I'm a native New Yorker, who was born in Queens, grew up on Long Island, and graduated from The School of Visual Arts in NYC, with a BFA in Graphic Design. I lived and worked in the city that never sleeps, and now reside in the River Towns, with my husband, 2 daughters, and 2 very spoiled cats.
Focusing on acrylics for their speedy dry time and ease of cleanup, my canvases explore the emotional appeal of color. While every art piece speaks differently to each observer, I find that feeling within me, and express it with hand written words and passages incorporated onto the canvas. More images of my works are available for viewing on my Instagram account: @artbyvpf. After spending years working for top agencies and companies in New York City, creating award winning designs on the computer, I found myself attracted to making beautiful works of art with my hands. Being able to create items you can touch and hold became important to me. Another creative outlet is through my Etsy store, Vanpinni Designs. From sculpting home decor items, such as jewelry dishes or air plant holders, (using air dry clay), to designing one-of-a-kind jewelry using 14k gold and silver metals with colorful gemstones, my pieces can’t be found anywhere else. Vanpinni Designs, showcases these handcrafted items on Etsy, and in local boutiques, inviting the viewer to find that special gift. www.vanpinnidesigns.com |
