Artist Statement- Phil Grasso

Hi my name is Phil Grasso, and am a senior Fine Arts major. I transferred here from Ocean County College my second semester of my sophomore year. Most of my work has be on canvas with oil, and recently I have become very interested in digital painting and design. I never found much interest in the computer but through the past few years I have been trying to develope my knowledge and understanding. I enjoy photography and drawing as well. I love working with ballpoint pens sketching ideas and creating new work. It has become a very satisfying to watch myself progress. In years to come I hope to finish my masters in New York and eventually work in clothing and graphic t-shirt design.   Although I am still semi-confused about what kind of art i love the most I tend, throughout this year, to finally become someone that can sit down with a solid portfolio of work in the media I hope to magically fall in love with.  It is a slow process but there is no doubt in my mind that its on the horizon.
