Zoe Lavatelli was born in 1985 and was immersed in art from a young age as she grew up in a family of artists in Buffalo, NY. She currently resides in Lawrence, New Jersey, and uses oil paint, watercolor, and mixed media on canvas and paper. Lavatelli obtained a BFA from The Cooper Union, and has studied and practiced various disciplines outside the art field, which inform her artwork. The study and practice of Buddhism has been particularly influential, with its focus on existential questions, and informs both the content and the painting process itself. Lavatelli has ruthlessly pursued authenticity in both creative expression and life in general. Her art practice is an aide in the search for truth and meaning in a chaotic and confounding world.
