A Colorist Painter in the Abstract Expressionist, Impressionist, and Surrealist Styles
Samuel J. Francazio studied art in the 1970’s at Adrian College, Adrian, Michigan, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in painting and pottery. In the succeeding years he married, and worked as a construction laborer to support his family—while putting his passion for art on the back burner. When Samuel retired from his construction work in 2008, he began experimenting with photography and attended pottery classes. He was inspired to begin painting again, and he has since enjoyed connecting with other artists, attending art exhibits, visiting studios, and exhibiting his own works. Samuel is currently accepting commissions, and his artwork is available for purchase at his various exhibits, online, or in person.
