THE BOOK

The Brushstrokes that Shaped My Life

A book written by the artist’s daughter, Rosann Scalise.

“What I am after in my work is a combination of abstract and realism. I try to incorporate those two qualities into each of my paintings. The combination is vital to me. Too much emphasis in either direction will destroy the balance. It’s a very fine line.”
