About Gabriella Di XX Miglia
Pronounce: Veynty Mellya.
I don't remember at any time in my life when I was not painting or doing something associated with art. During my life in Genoa, Italy, art was my studies, my constant companion, the focus and joy in my life. When I came to the States I continued my art journey. Since I enjoy painting a variety of subjects and media, I can not be categorized as merely a still life, portrait, oil, pastel, watercolor or mixed media artist. My ultimate satisfaction comes from continually inventing, stretching and improving myself. My search for new ideas, new methods, new techniques is a never ending quest as an artist.
