Judah Kessler

Judah A. Kessler was born in Cornwall, in the Mid-Hudson Valley, in New York State and lived, most of his life, in The Bronx, New York City. He has, as well, resided in the Middle East and Canada. He currently resides in Northern New England, on the Canada border.

Kessler was educated at Dutchess County Community College NY, The New School for Social Research NY in Psychology and at Elizabeth Seton/Iona College NY in Ethics and Nursing. He was part of the founders of “The New Hudson River School” of art and was an archival water-colourist, producing many works of historical authenticity in conjunction with intensive and extensive research and was amongst the New York City, Zucotti Park “Occupy Wall Street” demonstration. He speaks 9 languages.

Kessler appeared on Anne Barbano's The Next Frontier, 27 October 2011, where he discussed at some length, the concept of “Working Homeless”.
In a time of #OccupyWallStreet (Twitter hashtag) Anne found two men who exemplify a condition the nation is experiencing... a working homeless articulate guy from a shelter in NYC... Their stories and voices are compelling.... (41 minutes)”

This work is the result of months of Homeless residence in New York City and has become the inspiration for Kessler's now life-long ambitions of promoting a global awareness of the plight of the Homeless, and, in particular, those who are Homeless and employed, a faction to which he refers as the “Working Homeless”.
