Joseph Cavalieri

Teaches at Brooklyn Brainery

Joseph Cavalieri is an award winning native New York artist and educator. My practice working with glass started in 2010, after a career as an art director at magazines in New York City, including GQ, People and Good Housekeeping. Joseph's work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Arts and Design, the Italian American Museum, the Leslie-Lohman Museum, and the Stax Museum. His focus is on gallery exhibitions and private / public art commissions. The MTA Arts for Transit selected my work for a public art installation the at the Philipse Manor Train Station in Westchester, New York. In 2017, he designed, created and installed a large public art project: a six-foot stained glass church window in Salvador Brazil. Exhibitions include three shows at the Museum of Arts and Design, as well as a solo exhibition in Berlin, and shows in Munich, Bulgaria, the Venice Arsenale, and a solo show in Chelsea New York. Cavalieri has taught painting, airbrushing and printing on stained glass classes in over 30 different locations.

Cavalieri's aim is to merge contemporary imagery with the time-honored processes of painted stained glass, a material with a powerful spiritual history. His work is based of historic fables, contemporary pop art and human and architectural icons.
