About the Artist

A Cincinnati, Ohio contemporary impressionist returning again and again to France, Donna Talerico paints Parisian cafés, medieval villages, and luscious French landscapes.

A native of West Virginia, Talerico enjoyed a 20-year career as a retail fashion illustrator which perfected her drawing skills and provided a solid foundation for her development as a painter.

Visit her atelier OVER-THE-RHÔNE located in the Pendleton Art Center, Studio 601, phone 513-961-4205.

Artistic Style

Influenced by Van Gogh, the post-impressionists, and discovering fauvism in plein-air sessions in Collioure and in Provence, her style took on fluidity and movement – a vibrant energy infusing her original café and street scenes with life.

Her provocative use of color and expressive, gestural brushwork combine to create dynamic and joyous images carrying you to France in the blink of an eye. Vive la France... Vive l'art!
