Don Rossi 

I am a Connecticut native born in New London. I graduated from Paier School of Art in Hamden before pursuing a career in engineering. After returning to Connecticut I rediscovered oil painting and woodworking with renewed focus, bringing a lifetime of observation and inquiry into my creative work. My art is driven less by subject matter than by interpretation. I seek to reveal the quiet stores told through the interplay of light and shadow.  For me this is a journey to find new expression in ancient media.

My work has been exhibited throughout Connecticut. In 2024 I was  recognized with the Executive Director’s Choice Award at the Milford Arts Council. I am currently one of 30 artists selected for the Wee Fairy Village installation at the Florence Griswold Museum.
