We are a Yonkers-based creative couple with a proven track record of producing fun and engaging public art projects.

We met in 2014 and immediately shared something in common; 320. It is our magic number because we were both born on March 20th, hence “320”.

We also shared a love of service to others. In 2015, we joined forces for the first time and created, 320BodyArt. Our mission was to offer adults a unique experience of custom body art designs and mini spa treatments that consisted of aromatherapy, guided meditation and healing touch. We traveled to various events throughout NYC including community fairs in the Bronx, cultural affairs in Harlem and adult parties on the Lower East Side. Over time we were branded the “Paint and Pamer Professionals”. We maintained a monthly residency for three years.

In 2017, we produced, The 100 Words Of Wisdom Exhibit, a photo exhibition featuring 142 senior citizens adorned with graffiti-inspired body art. In 2019, we curated the YES YONKERS! Community Quilt Project, an art project that consisted of 1,300 participants. It is the largest community art project in the history of Yonkers. In 2020, Evan designed and Katori organized the painting of Westchester’s first Black Lives Matter asphalt mural in front of Yonkers City Hall. They collectively painted 8 street murals with more on the works. 

Evan is a three-time ArtsWestchester grant recipient (2017, 2018-19 and 2022). He and Katori both sat on the board of the Blue Door Art Center (2018-2019) and Evan is currently the Secretary of Yonkers Arts. 

When the world shut down due to the pandemic, they immediately offered various art experiences via Zoom. On a weekly basis they facilitated art workshops for children, produced an artist showcase and interviewed established artists. On April 1, 2020, Evan, Katori and fellow artist Luisa Baptista launched ART4WELLNESS. For twenty-five straight weeks they produced a free live art show via Zoom that features a live DJ spinning classic vinyl records. Artists from as far as Africa, Brazil and Australia would join a community of creatives that painted, others sculpted or wrote poetry. This safe space for artists contributed to the health and wellness of several dozen on a weekly basis.
