Rosemary Pergolizzi Will Open DRAWN BY SKY AND SEA At Pittsford Fine Art in October

Pittsford Fine Art will host the opening of Drawn by Sky and Sea, a new exhibition by artist Rosemary Pergolizzi, on Friday, October 3 from 5 to 8 p.m. The reception is part of the gallery’s First Friday series at its Main Street location in the village of Pittsford.

Pergolizzi, who lives in East Irondequoit, has long been inspired by the movement of clouds, the shifting colors of water, and the natural forces that shape the environment. Her work captures local landscapes from the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario to the Atlantic coast and Mediterranean ports. She uses oils, pastels, and drawing as complementary mediums, exploring texture, memory, and mood.

A former art educator in Irondequoit schools for more than 26 years, Pergolizzi transitioned to full-time studio work upon retirement. She has exhibited widely, earning recognition in juried shows, and remains an active member of the Rochester Art Club, the Pastel Society of Western New York, Pittsford Fine Art, and the Mill Gallery in Honeoye Falls.
