Lenz Bonhomme is a Haitian American artist native to North New Jersey. As an Animation and Illustration major at Montclair State University, their interest in art originated with their recreations of characters from various cartoons and sitcoms. As the years went on, storytelling as a creative outlet would become the main inspiration behind their art. Lenz’s preferred mediums are color pencil, watercolor, and digital painting. He currently partakes in portraiture, character design, screenwriting, and music production.

 

In 2019 they were featured in the “Inspired Minds: Young Artist Exhibition” by Herb + Milly Iris Gallery, being the only artist to have two pieces displayed. In 2021 they were an Artist in Residence at the Tyson Summer Arts Academy, mentoring middle school-aged artists and organizing the showcase that would present their work.

 

For future career endeavors and his last semesters at Montclair State University, Lenz is developing various projects such as visual art collections and screenplay pitches.
