Lenny is a multidisciplinary artist and creative producer specializing in photography, graphic design, painting, printmaking, and collage. A 2015 graduate of Parsons School of Design in NYC, where they earned a BFA in Photography and a BA in Liberal Arts, Lenny has collaborated with brands such as Netflix, H&M, Burt’s Bees, and the Academy of Motion Pictures. Their fine art has been exhibited internationally and is included in prestigious collections such as Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), often exploring themes of social justice and inclusivity.

In 2022, a freak accident left Lenny hospitalized for a year and relearning how to walk. This life-altering event inspired them to fully commit to their art practice, channeling their recovery to become a full-time artist. The transformative journey also deepened their passion for art education. Once fully recovered, Lenny began volunteering as an art teacher at the Braille Institute in Los Angeles, empowering visually impaired and blind individuals to find healing and purpose through creativity. Today, they continue this work, using art as a bridge for connection and growth.

Lenny’s current work is process-driven, blending abstraction with intuitive and irrational juxtapositions that they believe AI can never replicate or conceptualize. Their inspirations include the resilience of their four Holocaust-surviving grandparents and their own disabilities, which have shaped their unique perspective. In their studio, they embrace imperfection, saying, “There’s no perfection in art — it’s about being perfectly imperfect."
