Ms. DiCicco studied fine arts and graphic design at the University of Arizona. In 2011, she switched from graphic design to painting. Later, she studied with James Kent at the Guild of Creative Art and, more recently, with Grace Graupe Pillard at the Middletown Arts Center in New Jersey. She works with acrylic and collage elements and is inspired by nature’s color, shape, and light.
