Len Lambert is a Photographer, Artist, Jewelry Maker, Musician, Composer, Writer, Martial Artist, and Computer Nerd, but above all Family Man. Having been in the Art world for over 30 years he has evolved into the new breed of “Online Artists” showing his work online and growing with it, thru online networking. This is the next generation of Art, the direction Art is going in the new technological world.

He was born in a small town in Upstate NY on Lake Ontario… Oswego. He went to school there thru college. At SUNY Oswego he got his first degree… in Art graduating in 1972. The Art department there had the distinction at the time to have one of the best jewelry Making Departments in the State as well. Although his teachers thought he was a Music Major since he was actually doing more Music than even than Art. As a member of every instrumental organization in the school he played first Trombone or Solo Trombone and wrote a composition for the Jazz Rock band.. the first one by a student at the school. He also played for a time separately in a Rock Band and during the summers in the towns Summer Band. Deciding that his art alone wasn’t going to make him a living he went to NYC to study photography at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) the premiere fashion school in the country. There he was top of his class and often worked for his teachers on the side as an assistant. Taking jewelry at FIT as well helped in his later extension of his Arts into Jewelry and the subsequent establishment of his online jewelry business Goldfinch Jewelers (dot com). One of his Wire Sculpture Design Pieces can be seen on Wikipedia’s Page on Wire Sculpture. ( a Ruby Pendant wrapped in Sterling Silver) Being from small towns, both he and his wife Robin felt a need for the open-air upstate and eventually moved out and into the Saratoga Springs, New York area with their son Matthew. Along the way he worked for his 4th degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and teaches that and Hapkido. (the Korean version of Aikido) in his 10 foot by 20 foot matted workout room, complete with tread mill and full universal. He is known best for his photography which has been published internationally. When he was in NYC he worked for such companies as Mobil Oil and Chemical Bank, and American Airlines through Rosulo Graphics. Now in upstate his work continues online at lenlambert.com He is still of course doing his “Art” photography but is also teaching models “How to Model” (for free) and writing a book on the subject. (His second book … his first being a novel “Saddam’s Revenge” which is published on www.lulu.com/lenlambert along with some of his “Faerie Series” in photography. references online: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_sculpture www.wnterhawk.com www.lulu.com/lenlambert www.goldfinchjewelers.com
