He also draws from his long prosperous career as a milliner, costume, set and interior designer for homes, theater and television. He has worked for The Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, The American Conservatory Theater, Berkeley Repertory Theater, Thomas O’Brien of Aero Studios and The Martha Stewart Show.

Javier is now poised for a career as a painter, fully focusing his creative passion and spiritual energies towards his continued journey as an artist. Ávila‏ lives and works in New York City & also Mexico.
