The sunrises and sunsets along Rhode Island鈥檚 coast are among her favorite subjects. 鈥淒usk on the Rocks,鈥� Petrilli says, was created in many layers over several months in her makeshift kitchen-corner studio. Having her studio space 鈥渨here all the action takes place in our home,鈥� says this busy mom of two, 鈥渉as given me the opportunity to add color to my paintings in small increments of time, which is so limited these days.鈥� She adds, 鈥淚 began with multiple washes over the sky, then the water, horizon line, and finally the shapes and shadows of the rocks. I use my palette knife to bring texture and angles鈥攖he unexpected streaks of color and texture make me smile.鈥� Petrilli earned her B.F.A. from 溏心vlog免费B站.
