2024 ARTIST OF THE YEAR - Elaine percoco

ELAINE PERCOCO - I grew up seeing my mother paint on canvas, on paper, on wood, on shells, and she even painted landscapes on our walls.  When we retired and moved to Cocoa Beach; I saw that art lessons were available at reasonable prices.  So, I signed up for watercolor and acrylic classes. Five years later CBAA members Beth Greenburg and Helen Wheatly talked me into joining CBAA.  Even though I did not think my work was good enough, Beth had me to sign up for the Cape Canaveral Art Show, I sold my first piece that same weekend.  I was hooked, and the rest is history.
