Fountain Hills Art League will feature Marie Picchiotti as a guest speaker at the monthly meeting Monday, April 1.
Picchotti was voted Artist of the Year for 2024 by the 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, Picchotti said she knew that someday, 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 literally.”
Fountain Hills Art League meetings are held in the Community Center, 13001 N. La Montana Drive, every first Monday of each month, October through May. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the meeting begins at 6 p.m.
