Steven Guarnaccia is something of a renaissance man in the art world. Born in Fairfield and now living in Brooklyn, N.Y., Guarnaccia is a graphic designer, illustrator of children’s books, a professor in the department of Illustration at Parsons The New School for Design in New York and a curator.
“I grew up in Fairfield and my parents were both school teachers in the public school system,” Guarnaccia said. “New York was always a beacon for me and the cultural life of New York was really my cultural life growing up. My grandfather was a jeweler who had an office across from the Museum of Modern Art.”
