John M. Balonze

Art has been my passion ever since I first learned how to grasp a pencil as a small child. I thought I would end up going to art school, yet despite years of practice, I didn’t make the cut for my high school’s highly competitive Art Portfolio class. I wound up taking a different route, obtaining a general liberal arts education at Columbia University in New York, where I would study literature, philosophy, political science, and of course, the visual arts. I later went on to study law in Europe and in the United States, yet throughout it all, I have never left art, or rather, it has never left me.
