BRIEF HISTORY

---

Born in Philadelphia, Seth graduated from Tyler School of Art with a BFA in 1983, with a semester in Rome, Italy. He moved to Greenpoint, Brooklyn in the mid 1980s and showed his work in galleries in Philly, the East Village and Soho throughout the eighties. Seth worked in construction and then as an art preparator for various galleries in Soho until about 1989, when he got a job at the Bronx Zoo building exhibits. In the mid-90s he stopped painting to start a production company and raise a family in Boerum Hill, but continued to draw and write and eventually a chance visit to the Louvre reignited his interest in painting, in the complexity of the human figure, its physicality, and its unpredictable emotions. Seth found a studio in Gowanus around 2015 and then moved to a studio in Red Hook, where he's been painting and drawing since 2018.
