The Lawyer Who Wants to Paint You
Briefly

Adam Dressner, who left a corporate law career to pursue art, finds inspiration from his early love for painting and his New York City surroundings.
"I started with naked self-portraits," Dressner said, reflecting on his artistic journey that evolved from personal explorations to capturing loved ones and vibrant city scenes.
Dressner's paintings, characterized by their large scale and bright colors, draw from influences like Alice Neel, showcasing an introspective yet outward-looking perspective of his life.
"I threw myself into the medium again, only to discover that an eighty-hour workweek left little time for the easel," illustrates the struggle between his career and passion.
