Hi, this is Joseph Liggett, founder of joeNYC, Inc. Thanks for taking a visit to my website, I hope you find the experience valuable, and feel free to check back for updates.

I was born and raised in New York City, and expect for college (1 year at Adelphi in Garden City, Long Island and little over 3 years at the State University of New York at Albany) I have lived my entire life here. I went to grade school at the Fleming School on East 62nd and for a few months at the Roosevelt Island school on the island of the same name. Then for high-school I attended the Birch Wathen School which later merged with the Lenox School and became the Birch Wathen Lenox School which still exists on east 77th street.

At Adelphi, i received a minuscule art scholarship, and studied under the artists William Tucker. His ability to guide his students to produce art by feel and not by site will stay with me, always. He taught me how to sculpt blind folded, and eventually how to weld with an arc welder.

The next year, I switched Universities to the State University of New York at Albany and I moved to the Capital of New York State; Albany. Albany is not only the state capital, but a college town and it has the dubious distinction of having 2 man made structures that are visible from space in a single municipality. The Empire State Plaza and the Albany University Uptown Campus, both monolithic and absurd structures in there own right.
