Exhibiting the Art of Saint James artist Josephine Puccio - Feb. 3 - March 2, 2025

Since a very young age, Josephine Puccio loved art. Growing up in Brooklyn, her family would visit her grandparents in the country (now known as Howard Beach). Josephine 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!”

Josephine 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.
