PAT GRILLO, acrylics

All my life I have studied and taught different types of art, both formally and informally. As an acrylic painter, I try to bring my sense of proportion and light to my canvases. My work embodies a balance of realism and vibrant color that I hope allows the viewer to see everyday objects in a visually interesting way.

My paintings have been exhibited, and sold in Juried Art Exhibitions at the Images Gallery, in Boca Raton, FL. Many of the paintings you see on this website have won awards at the prestigious Coral Springs Museum of Art and other Exhibitions in the Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Boca Raton area. For four years I was President of the Boca Raton Museum's Artist's Guild, and served on the Board of Directors of the Museum. Now I am living in the beautiful Western North Carolina Mountains. Teaching and painting in this wonderful place is a true joy.

Some of my work can be seen in Asheville at the Kress Emporium, 19 Patton Avenue, starting March 2008, in Hendersonville at The Gallery at Heritage Square, 121 W. Barnwell Street, and in New Hope, PA . at Type B Studios , 110 Main Street.
