Maria Janina Rizzo will give a presentation on "Marketing Your Art, and Marketing Resources
for CNY Artists"
Maria was born in Bologna, Italy in 1987 and has been working as a professional artist since 2010.
She recently participated in the NY Foundation for the Arts Mark Bootcamp, which offered a unique opportunity for individuals to focus on the professional and business side of their creative practice.
Maria Rizzo's paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout New York State and abroad, including the Red House Gallery in Syracuse, the Frederic Remington Museum in Ogdensburg and the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Lissone in Italy.
Maria Rizzo's recent paintings are a tribute to trees. To create these "Totems of Life" she uses her memory of nature as a reference and intuition as her guide. The painting process is her journey to find beauty and balance among texture, color, and form.
