Iris Lavy

Having a strong passion for the arts, Iris practiced different artistic disciplines from childhood, including visual art, drama, music and dance. She graduated with a diploma in music, jazz piano, composition and arrangement and in 1994, after moving to New York she enrolled in full time studies of art - painting and drawing, at the Art Students League in New York City.
Iris has shown her art in solo and group exhibitions in galleries, museum, art shows and art fairs around New York City. She won awards including her painting 'Submerged' - a portrait of Bill Evans was chosen as a station logo for Denver Jazz Public Radio station WKUVO for 2010. A video of her most recent solo show in 2015 at Gaia Gallery in Brooklyn, New York can be seen at this link: https://youtu.be/Gnb2SNmpBYo
Iris' art has been collected and sold to private collectors, interior designers and corporations, through galleries and directly from her studio, on and offline all around the world.
Today Iris lives in New York City, where she is continuously inspired by and exposed to the latest, cutting edge trends from many of the world's best galleries and museums, in a city that is the hub of the contemporary art world.
