A Lifelong Fascination
Growing up in Jersey City, NJ, I was exposed to many different cultures and ways to express myself. Having two parents with art degrees, I was always encouraged to create and express myself in any way possible. This led me to create art from a very young age and I had to opportunity to explore many different mediums.
My story
My name is Alex Baffa, and I am currently a senior at Saint Peter's Preparatory School in Jersey City. I have been creating art for as long as I can remember and throughout high school I have had the opportunity to take many art classes, including ones at the New York Academy of Art and the Art Students League in New York City. Aside from art, I am an avid hiker and I hope to study environmental science in college and have a career in conservation.
Currently, I am working on charcoal studies and developing my skills, but I am looking to create more pieces in the future with social commentary on the current state of global warming and environmental policy.
