Biography

Peter Scolamiero, who passed away in his 80's, was a devoted commercial artist that divided his talents between his photography, figure drawing, sculpting, and painting. He had a love for abstract work. It had been said of Peter that "He draws like a sculptor," spending many hours auditing classes at Rutgers University in his later years to do his figure drawings.

 He lived and worked in New Jersey. He graduated, a student of art, and president of his class from the Newark Public School of Fine Art and Industrial Art in 1937.

 His work was featured regularly at The Barrons Art Center in Woodbridge New Jersey and he sold his abstract paintings from these exhibits. We will be featuring much more of his work, including his sculpture in the future.
