Westchester Art Gallery Staff

 

Ray Endreny is the owner of Tappan Z Gallery in Westchester County.  Ray grew up surrounded by the arts and, from an early age, was actively encouraged to foster his appreciation for the arts.  While earning his degree at Cornell University, Ray took courses in art history, architecture, and industrial design.  He pursued a career in business but also began collecting art during his travels in the U.S. and abroad.  After a twenty year corporate career selling advertising and marketing designer goods into national retail channels, Ray decided to focus on his passion for the fine arts full-time.  Tappan Z Gallery represents the culmination of this journey and the beginning of a new opening for a dynamic offering of American fine art and craft right here in Westchester.


Stefanie Diaz has always been fascinated with the arts. During her junior year at Valhalla High School, in Westchester, NY, Stefanie was offered a unique opportunity to apply for the advanced placement arts program. The freedom and creativity arising from this experience furthered her interest toward a degree in fine art.  Wanting to explore another city, Stefanie accepted a position at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a minor in Art History. Stefanie continues painting and drawing in an abstract style while looking for inspiration in the work of emerging and established artists. She's delighted to be back in Westchester County continuing a life committed to fine art.

 

Jennifer Pereira is an emerging illustrator and graphic designer currently pursuing a degree at the New York Institute of Technology.  Growing up in Puerto Rico, at a young age Jennifer surrounded herself with local arts and culture, learning from amateur and professional artists alike.  Emigrating to the United States five years ago, Jennifer began expanding her knowledge of history, foreign language, American literature and the arts.  Jennifer’s creations derive from varied inspirations in music, color, form, and the human condition.  A storyteller at heart, Jennifer seeks meaning within every work of art she encounters.  Working at Tappan Z Gallery satisfies these broad interests and allows her interaction with people similarly enthusiastic about artistic expression.
