The King’s Gallery will showcase the art of nationally known painter Gene Rizzo on November 1, from 1:00pm until 6:00pm at the Gallery on Main Street, Spanish Springs.
Rizzo developed his artistic style, which he calls “My Passion” early on and is largely self-taught. His watercolors echo the sights and atmosphere of the south, its birds and its architecture. He has also recently turned his attention to oils and acrylics.
It was a bout with cancer which helped fuel his love of art. Rather than letting worry about his health overwhelm him, he turned his energies to creating a growing series of works that have received outstanding reviews throughout the art world.
“My early paintings were memories of my younger years, growing up with nature; the sea, the birds and the ambience of it all; that is what I continue to paint today”.
