WALTER RODRIGUEZ
(B. 1981 Havana, Cuba)
Walter John Rodriguez's studio is located in New York City. His love for drawing and painting developed at an early age in Cuba where he made every effort to learn artistic skills despite having limited resources. After immigrating to the United States, his continued interest in art motivated him to seek formal art training graduating in 2002 with a B.F.A. degree from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Since then, he has participated in high profile art fairs, residencies and also exhibited throughout the United States. His work has been included in multiple private collections and group exhibits in Florida, California, New York and New Jersey.
