   Adele Travisano Sixty-two years ago I was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, and for the past twenty-six years I have lived and painted in Medford. In 1966 I received a BFA from the University of Connecticut, and in 1968 an MFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. There I studied painting with the artist George McNeil, who had been a student of the artist Hans Hofmann. Therefore my painting is a product of 20th-century American Abstract Expressionism. However, my work has taken a figurative, representational turn, while retaining expressionistic qualities. For several years I have worked on a series of paintings about gardens – mostly my own, but as commissions for others too. I also paint portraits, several of which are hanging in City Hall as well as other Medford buildings and private collections. Actually I think of all my paintings as portraits, whether a person, pet, garden, vegetable, fruit, seashell or rock. These are subjects that want to be painted, not only represented in oils on canvas, but in a way made again to show, along with their outward appearance, the life that is in them. I am also working on a series of paintings about the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Please contact me for information on portrait or garden commissions. More images and a resumé are available upon request. Adele Travisano
