Esly Escobar found a passion for the visual arts quite by accident, he says. The LTV studios technician and Westhampton Beach resident describes one winter when he literally threw colorful paints on cardboard, and he fell in love.

He soon found himself with a solo show at the Remsenburg Academy, ... by Editorial Board
