You Should Know: Rory Gevis

Rory Gevis is an artist, painter, and creative consultant living in New York City. In addition to her stunningly captivating portrait works, Rory's portfolio also consists of vivid pet photography (which probably explains why Rory brought her adorably photogenic pup to our photo shoot). Aside from painting her worldly clients from places such as Singapore, Hollywood, and New York, Rory is also the fierce Executive Director of Creative at M.A.C Cosmetics, and publications including the New York Times and Domino Magazine have featured her work. This past February, NBC Connecticut caught up with Rory at her eclectic Chelsea home, which displays much of the talented compositions Rory's completed over the years.
