GINO DOMINIC NARDO, Artist Information:
Gino Dominic Nardo, a Southern California artist, has been experimenting with a variety of mediums since 1977. Now seeking out new avenues to deliver his unique creative vision&paintings, drawings, three-dimensional, multi-medium, and glass and ceramic vases all have been explored and proven fruitful. Through years of playful concentration, experiments and creative victories Gino continues to produce unique original works of art. Creating these works of art is a gift of expression. It cannot be taught or taken from you. To extract this feeling from within myself is one of the wonderful fulfilling experiences of my life. There is not a day that goes by when I'm not creating an actual piece of art or creating it within myself. I hope you enjoy this artwork in your life as much as I have in mine creating them.
