Steven Zapata

Steven Zapata has alway had a great love for drawing.  A native New Yorker, his frequent visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art inspired him to strive for the fluency and freedom of the old masters. He moved to Los Angeles to attend Art Center College of Design and went on to work in video games, film, theme parks, and advertising. After moving back to New York, he began teaching art, both independently and at Art Center. In 2019, he began a YouTube channel where he shares video essays about the mental challenges that accompany an art practice.
