Edward Sokol

Art Brokerage: Edward Sokol American Artist: Edward Sokol, always knew he would be an artist, from his first crayon drawings on the wall at age three, through his formal training at New York's High School of Music and Art, and Hunter College, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting. Upon graduation, Sokol taught elementary school while pursuing a career as a working artist. To his great surprise and delight, at the end of one year, and after only a few outdoor art shows, two New York art galleries offered to represent him. Soon he was working full time as an artist. One show led to another and his list of collectors began to grow. One of the most distinguishing characteristics of Sokol's work is a highly sensitive and seemingly innate sense of color. Whether using a palette of strong or soft colors, Sokol creates pleasing and unique works of art, and is equally at home using both figurative and abstract forms. His works have been widely exhibited and may be found in numerous collections.
