Roxanne Pizzuto ’88

I paint because I love color.
I’m fascinated by the natural properties of color; because light is a function of color our eyes are treated to a beautiful display under certain light conditions. The light in Maine offers abundant opportunities for this experience. Also, I love that color can appear to change not just from light but specifically by the color it is next to or surrounded by.
Ordinary objects inspire me. Often, the colors I initially see in objects simply represent the opportunity to create exaggerated hues throughout my painting experience.
