Who Is Kurt Tavakoli

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Kurt grew up on a farm in a small town in rural Illinois. At 18 years old, Kurt moved to Richmond, Virginia where he decided to pursue his passion for art and music while working full-time as an ice cream maker for Gelati Celesti. After gaining a fair amount of self-taught experience as an artist, (and making some of the most delicious flavors of ice cream) Kurt bought a plane ticket to visit his best friend on the west coast. In such a short period of time he was meeting some of the most creative people he had ever met and having the most memorable moments of his life. On his way back from his trip he planned his move, bought a one-way ticket to San Diego and is currently living his dream making some of his best work as an artist. As he finds new inspirations every day, and new perspectives, Kurt’s expression and quality of work is increasing at a quick speed.
