She is making work that contextualizes fantasy and desire within the consumed products of our escape-oriented society and the oft-forgotten natural landscape that enables the imagination. Her creative process is an exchange of analog and digital processes: illustration, music-making, and sculpture are interpreted via digital frameworks like video editing, Photoshop, DAWs and 3D animation to create a final product whether it be video, song, or image. She sees these digital frameworks as a tool for one’s desire for change, answering questions of how the world could or should be. As a video editor and digital artist Vanessa has worked with NEON, Adult Swim, Eartheater, Poppy, Lou Tides, The Joyce Theater, and many others. Vanessa's visual art and video work have been exhibited at places like Knockdown Center, David Zwirner, Kimberly-Klark and Goggleworks Center for the Arts. Most recently she did a digital artist residency at The Neighbors where she started building her 3D animated short, Player 1 (working title).

Her lyrics were sent to Big Ant McKinney and Mark pringer, both lifers incarcerated in Ohio's Warren Prison, for composition. In November 2015, Fury Young recorded Big Ant’s vocal and the song’s instrumental track at Warren. When BL was released in December 2015, her vocals were recorded in her hometown of Philly. The music video, a fever dream stirring in Fury's head, was shot piecemeal between April - October 2017. The video footage of Big Ant is through a service called jpay, in which prisoners can record themselves in 30-second videos. BL's scenes were shot in Brooklyn NY, Jackson NJ and Avon By-The-Sea, NJ - and almost didn't happen due to a fight in a crackhouse that almost ruined BL and Fury's relationship. The black and white footage is from "Afro American Work Songs in a Texas Prison," directed by Toshi and Pete Seeger in 1966.

For years he has worked in music championing voices of other artists with FREER Records - the first label in America for musicians in prison and formerly incarcerated.

That changed in October 2023 with the debut of "X Ray," and since then Young has been busy, releasing an EP and several singles up until Fall 2024. For the past year, Fury has been laser focused on his debut LP, the synthwave epic "Escape From LES" dropping in Fall 2025. With influences ranging from Bon Iver to Krayzie Bone, Fury hopes to ignite and impassion listeners with his eclectic, rock-at-its-core sound. Local heroes, endless highways, and widescreen wonders fill the canvas of these records, delivered in addictive, raw melodies.
