Artist Josephine Puccio to be featured at Apple Bank exhibition in Smithtown

Smithtown Township Arts Council has announced that the works of Saint James artist Josephine Puccio will be on view at Apple Bank of Smithtown, 91 Route 111, Smithtown from Feb. 5 to April 3.

From a very young age, Puccio loved art. Growing up in Brooklyn, her family would visit her grandparents in the country (now known as Howard Beach). The artist fell  in love with the beauty of the trees, flowers and natural landscape and at age 7 she begged her parents to buy her crayons and paper so she could draw what she saw.

“Till this day I can sit for hours upon hours and paint what I see in hopes of bringing to everyone the beauty, excitement and love for nature that I feel in my heart!” said Puccio.

The artist moved to Florida for eight years, returning to Long Island in 2022. Before her move, she was an award-winning artist exhibiting her work and winning many prizes at galleries across the island from East Hampton to East Meadow having exhibited at Guild Hall, Suburban Art League, Wet Paints Studio Group among many others. Happy to return to the Art scene on Long Island, Puccio continues to exhibit her art and win prizes!

The exhibition, part of the Arts Council’s Outreach Gallery Program, may be viewed during regular banking hours Monday -Thursday 9 am – 4 pm; Friday 9 am – 6 pm; Saturday 9 am – 1 pm.
