Lenore Cellini-Brienza

Leonore Cellini was born in Southern California. A desire to draw and express various feelings surfaced early and became the dominant influence in her life. All the arts were of great interest to here, particularly music and painting. At the age of seventeen it became clear that painting was the form of art she would pursue. The privacy and singular control appealed.

She attained a scholarship at Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and at eighteen moved to that city. The school and its teachers and students further inspired her to immerse herself in the world of art. Most of the actual learning, however, had been through diligent work, constant observation, and experimentation in her studio.

Ms. Cellini - nee Mrs. Brienza - also enjoys doing murals, paintings, and screens for interior design firms and architectural firms as well as private clients. Many of the screens and panels have been executed on antiqued mirror.
