Angelica is a professional full time artist. She was born and raised in Brindisi, a sunny, colorful seaside town among the beautiful beaches on the Adriatic Sea, and she spent a few years working and attending the University in a pretty city near Venice. She also traveled often throughout Italy visiting her extended family near Florence, Bologna, Torino, Brindisi, Lecce and many other places.
Angelica came to the US in the early 80's, and started painting in 1996. Since then she has taken several Art classes in order to master different mediums and improve her tecniques. Angelica loves and misses the Italian buildings, the colors, the people, the foods, the warm Mediterrenean Sea and the olive trees. Her painting allows her to revisit the lands, colors and sights that are so very familiar and that are such an intrinsic part of her. She travels to Europe and Italy to visit family and friends and spend time there recharging her 'cultural' batteries, while brushing up on the language and collecting pictures and subjects to paint while back in the US. Painting is Angelica's way to go back to the past and a chance to dream up the future while enjoying the present.
