Eli Cedrone graduated from the School of Art & Design at Suffolk University in Boston and over the years furthered her study of art in Italy and at the School of the MFA, Boston. She has lived in Bermuda and California and returns to each often, in addition to Italy, to paint and teach workshops. Ms. Cedrone has won numerous awards and her painting trips to Italy are in high demand. Her energetic brushwork and bold use of color turn otherwise common scenes of daily life into timeless evocations of the world in which we live. “Ultimately my concerns are with the expressive qualities of light captured with paint. I'm inspired by the fabric of which our environment is woven. Daily surroundings that show a visual patina of time speak to me; the alchemy between what is transient and what is solid. Between the two is the rich matrix of the shadow and light patterns of life.”AffiliationsOil Painters of America,Portrait Society AmericaCopley Society BostonGuild Of Boston ArtistsLaguna Plein Air Painters
