I grew up Antonia Costagliola in Alexandria Virginia. By the 4th grade the great ladies at Lyles Crouch Elementary School would let me illustrate the school newspaper... I've got very fond memories of that. Painting has always been the best way for me to express myself.
I paint with a sense of humor, choosing bright colors and keeping simplicity in mind. I believe that God gave us so much beauty to inspire me, pain for me to make sense of, and the desire to express it all with creativity.
As I get older and more jaded, as the world gets more violent and chaotic, I feel a sense of wonder, a sense of humor, keeps life interesting and joyful.
My artwork has been carried by galleries in Ellicott City, Severna Park, Savage Mill, and Annapolis. Now that the ups and downs of raising a family are done, I'm living here in Cambridge and making art. I try to use painting as a way to calm my 'emotional roller-coaster". There is often a sense of alone-ness depicted in my artwork, particularly in portraits (see GIRL WITH CATS) and just as often, an idyllic place to rest one's mind. Please watch the web for more of my art...
