Vinnie Hager is a multidisciplinary American artist and designer from Baltimore, Maryland, known for his distinctive style that bridges the gap between physical and digital mediums. Born in 1996, his artistic journey began with a childhood surrounded by art and an early, almost addictive, inclination towards drawing and doodling. Hager developed a unique visual language using a vocabulary of lines, shapes, characters, and symbols that connect in intricate patterns, resembling a complex jigsaw puzzle. This personal iconography, which includes recognizable elements like envelopes, flowers, and eyes alongside abstract forms, is a constant motif in his work and can be adapted across various scales and surfaces.

Hager earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2021, and his work is deeply autobiographical, often serving as a therapeutic outlet to process significant personal losses, including the passing of his parents and brother between 2016 and 2019. His artistic practice, which is influenced by internet culture and nostalgia for skateboarding aesthetics, fluidly combines traditional drawings and paintings with new technologies, including high profile NFT collections like "Letters" and the deeply personal "Diary" project.

Hager has transitioned his art into numerous commercial and public spheres, moving beyond traditional paper and canvas to home decor, apparel, and large-scale architectural public art activations. His work has appeared on a billboard in Times Square and in group exhibitions at various galleries and museums, including the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts and Art Basel in Miami. Hager remains prolific, continually exploring diverse outlets and mediums to expand his evolving career and share his unique visual story with a global audience.
