AVERY POOLE (DREW RAGOSTA)

I still don’t know why creating an alias made so much sense at the time, but it has become a pillar of my work and something of a two word testament to what I stand for as an artist.

I devoted myself to oil paint for the better half of my career before branching off into other mediums like digital art, animation, video, and photography. No matter much I stray from my original medium, my work still reflects the pungent lessons oil and turpentine taught me.

I can’t help being painterly at heart and so I let it seep methodically into the fabric of my work. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for stopping by.
