http://www.kusmierski.com/"Born in NYC, I currently reside in Lower Manhattan.
I studied Illustration and Painting at Parsons School of Design graduating with a BFA followed by an MA from Hunter College in Studio Art.
For the past 15 years I have been designing and illustrating children's books.
My illustrations are hand sewn felt figures of plush material over a wire armature - photographed and then placed against a 3-D or 2-D digitally created background.
I have exhibited paintings and drawings at the Elizabeth Harris Gallery, Snug Harbor Cultural Center, the Drawing Center, the Everson Museum and assorted universities and galleries across the country."
