Weston Woolley, 31, was born in Jacksonville, North Carolina. As an adult he moved to New York and Los Angeles, experiencing urban life in all its glory and detriment, discovering his passion for visual art. He took on a job in photo production and found a niche in fashion photography (working with top industry talent such as Steven Meisel, Steven Klein, Max Vadukul, Greg Kadel, etc.) while continuing his work in performance art and painting.
Though he prefers oil painting, he is embracing all media and is intrigued by the widespread reach technology affords artists today. When asked what drives him to continue to pursue a life in art he responds, “ We all live in a creative universe. I truly believe when we tap into that source, our lives become enriched and aligned. Simply, it makes me happy.”
Woolley currently resides in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
