Noah Velez

I am a painter, graphic designer, printmaker and artist with an insatiable passion for what I do. Since graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2019 with a BFA in Communication Arts, I have been focusing on my design and fine art careers. Directly out of college, I participated in the GlogauAIR artist residency in Berlin, where I was to make a body of work for exhibition and absorb the culture and history of Berlin. In 2020,      I received the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship award. Currently, I live and work as an artist and designer in the NYC Metro area.
