About Us

ARTIST STATEMENT: If one were to ask what type of artist I consider myself or describe my style I would say that I am an "Eclectic Visualist". This is because as an artist I’m always looking for new discovery and I create a variety of work from a traditional contemporary, modern to a digital tech style. I feel that artist like musician become categorized because it is easier for someone to market and package what you do.  I received my B.F.A from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1988 but didn’t come out on to the art scene until 1990. Two years after finishing college I began to explore the nuances of visual art with more precision. I would stroll through the galleries of SoHo were I could rethink about my creative processes, technique and genre.  My debut as an artist was at an Expo at the Javits Center in New York in 1990 where I had gone by my artist name (KEM). I premiered my art work in the form of buttons and wearable art sportswear. I then realized that there was a market for my work with its style of vivid colors and animated expressions.  I shifted my gears somewhat towards the realm of education and became a visual arts instructor in New York City public schools.  At present I am the founder of ASG-Artizfacts Studio Gallery.
