Steven Vando
Originally from New York City, Steven began painting, drawing and creating art at a young age. His art education, though mainly self-taught through life experiences and observation, included attendance at Pratt Institute and the School of Visual Arts. His adult career has lead me through many different creative and business endeavors, while always thinking of returning to my artistic roots. In 2016, I began painting, creating and selling my original watercolors.
