A. Lavalle, also known as Alfred Huber, was born in 1944 in New York. Lavalle always had a taste for art and adventure; he has traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe. Entirely self-taught, Lavalle does not restrict himself to one particular style of painting. Instead, Lavalle draws inspiration from his hobbies, which include skiing, sailing, and tennis. His work can be seen in many private collections around the world.
