Leonard Goldstein

I would call myself a re-emerging artist. I have always painted but I also enjoy designing and building . I have always had the urge to create and be an artist. I was 5 years old when I first conceptualized this desire. I was instantly hooked. I studied at the High School of Art and Design and graduated in 1962. From there I went to the University of New Mexico and studied Architecture and Painting with the late John Kacere. I was introduced to the sculptor John Chamberlain in 1967 became his assistant for a time. After working with Chamberlain, I move to SoHo in 1969 and lived in the basement loft at 98 Greene Street, where I began my abstract pointillism paintings. There I developed my own technique and process and my style as an artist. I participated in some early shows in SoHo and worked for many artists building and renovating lofts, theaters and galleries. I have always loved art and have never stopped painting and creating.. Now I am also exploring sculpture and other areas where I can combine my skills as a designer.
