Samuel J. Francazio at Gallery of Framing, LLC

Explore Samuel’s bright vibrant colors and beautiful impressionistic flora to cool you off from our midsummer heat. Samuel uses thickly applied paint that give his works texture and draw you into the nature he is creating.

“I consider myself a colorist, in the Abstract Expressionist and Impressionist styles.  I interpret God’s gift of nature using a free form that is both simple and extensive in shapes, compositions, colors and subjects. When I make my art, I focus on my imagination at that time and place, using nature as my guide.” ~ Samuel
