Fountain Hills Art
League will feature Marie Picchiotti as guest speaker at
the monthly meeting on April 1, 2024. Meetings are
held in the Fountain Hills Community Center, the first
Monday of each month October through May. Doors
open at 5:30, meeting begins at 6:00 pm.
Picchotti was voted Artist of the Year for 2024 by the
Fountain Hills Art League.
“Art has always been a part of my personal journey in some shape or form,” says Picchotti. “After a trip to New Mexico with my daughter, I developed a fondness for art that is colorful, fragmented and permanent.” Since that time, she knew that some day, she would create mosaic art.
“For the last two years, I have been a self-taught glass mosaic artist. I am fairly new to the medium, but my interest has been brewing since that trip with my daughter where we strolled the quaint little shops with so much color and character” she says. “Fast forward 20 years and the Southwest continues to be my inspiration and many of my pieces reflect that,” she hesitates, and continues with a smile, “literally!”
