Regina Petrecca

Regina paints in a contemporary realist style, but never wants her paintings to look like photographs. She wants the viewer to see evidence of the hand of the artist. Her love of color shines through in all her paintings and inspiration comes from many sources. Lately she has been delving into abstract painting - a new way of expressing herself through her art. She feels there is something truly magical in taking a totally blank canvas and transforming it into something that she and, hopefully, others enjoy. This enjoyment is enhanced when a viewer connects with her art to the point where they choose to collect her work to enjoy in their home or office every day.

Regina has exhibited her paintings in Art Shows and Galleries throughout Northern Virginia and North Carolina, winning awards along the way. Her paintings have also been used by print media to advertise Art Shows.
