Vivian Gattuso

Born in Manhattan, I moved to Long Island at the age of 16 and attended Farmingdale High School. My interest in painting began when I was exposed to photographs of Long Island while working in my Real Estate Career. Was given advice from a Southampton Gallery owner to learn to draw and mix my colors and he would give me the opportunity to have my own exhibit. I have over the years learned to draw with the right side of my brain and mix colors like the Masters. I continue to explore art and photography with more of a passion and appreciate the opportunity the Mills Pond Gallery has given me to display my art.
