Angela Manno

Angela Manno has been a professional artist for the past 40 years and is known for her virtuosity in a vast range of painstaking art forms both east and west, ancient and contemporary.

A graduate of Bard College, Manno studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute, Parson's School of Design and l'Ecole des Arts in Lacoste, France. She was trained by a contemporary master of batik, the late Jyotirindra Roy, and studied the ancient liturgical art of Byzantine-Russian iconography under master iconographer, Vladislav Andrejev

Manno is an award-winning landscape painter, having studied with instructors trained at the Cape School of Art, founded by Charles Hawthorne and later directed by American colorist Henry Hensche.

In a review of her one-woman show in France in 2003, the newspaper La Provence writes: “Though primarily a figurative painter, Angela Manno brings a delicate hint of ‘impressionism‘ to her pastels. . . . Her exacting touch reveals a quest for harmony and elevates the medium of pastel with a faint, suggestive look of oils.”

In the 1990s, Ms. Manno added fresco painting to her repertoire, with the completion of a seven-foot fresco at the Palazzo Torlonia, Ceri, Italy and a number of mural projects in the United State...
