"The paint hypnotizes me as it reveals something that could not be expressed in words. Forms slowly reveal themselves as having already been there. Like a dance with inner conversation, painting for me, is the language of feelings and self awareness." PiA DiStefano Since I was very young, I have been fascinated with expressing myself through color and images. I was born with the desire to create art. I have studied at Parsons, NY, SMFA, Boston, West Valley College, CA, Wellesley College, MA, The Angel Art Academy, Italy, and with artist Daniel Greene, NY. My work has been exhibited in California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, and Denmark. My studio is located in Florence Italy. Photo credit: James Dewrance. [Biography - Pia Distefano - 2Ko]
