Adam Handler (1986) was born in Queens NY and grew up on Long Island. As a young child and adolescent, he spent countless hours at his grandparents' framing factory in New York City. There, his passion for the arts grew and it became inevitable that he too would discover the many possibilities of art. Handler studied Life Drawing in Italy and went on to graduate from Purchase College with a major in Art History. He has also studied craft design with Jorge Nieves and printing color photography with Debra Mesa-Pelly. Handler has mounted major solo exhibitions globally. His work has also been shown extensively at major art fairs which include, Art New York, Art Taipei, Art021, DNA Shenzhen, Spring/Break Art Fair and the Armory Fair. In addition, Handler’s work has been included in numerous collective exhibitions throughout the United States, Canada, Middle East, Asia and Europe.
