Patricia J. Mosca:
Patricia J. Mosca is a surface designer whose work explodes with color! Her philosophy on her art is as colorful as the pieces themselves. Patricia remembers when she was given her first box of Crayola crayons with the built- in sharpener. When it didn't matter that the cat was purple or the leaves were magenta. All she knew was that she had to use all the crayon colors. It has taken her awhile to get back to that youthful state of mind but now she sees in color, color, color! Her work is both whimsical and functional. From pouting chairs to gift boxes, furniture, outdoor garden ornaments and flowerpots her artwork appeals to children of all ages. 
Patricia is well known for her involvement in community art projects. She was commissioned by the County of Monroe to paint three "Horses on Parade". Patricia had the honor this year of helping to coordinate "Hat's Off To You", a fundraiser to auction artistic hats to benefit Gilda's Club.A project which she hopes will become an annual event. Currently she is designing a chair for the "Rare Chair Affair" to benefit the "Breast Cancer Coalition".
Her work has been displayed at the Greater Rochester International Airport and The Gallery at High Falls along with other public buildings throughout Monroe County. Art collectors from as far away as Alaska have purchased her custom designed work. So, if you have not yet had the pleasure to experience her work, you owe yourself that SMILE!
 
Lea Rizzo:
Currently Lea is doing her art out of her studio on Monroe Avenue. She has been winning awards for her art work since the age of 5 and continues to design art using many different mediums. Lea is well known for her use of college work in her art.

She also applies her art as a skin illustrator at JunkBot Productions Tattoo Shop. Custom designing and executing tattoos is a completely different working surface. However, Lea has mastered the art and is known to do extremely detailed work. 

Since moving back to Rochester from Atlanta, Georgia, Lea has shown her work in many galleries in Rochester. Her artwork ranges from the smallest tattoo to large privacy screens, woman to animal portraits. She enjoys being involved with community art project and was commissioned by three different companies for the "Deer on Parade". Personal collectors enjoy her unique style from across the United States.
