Jo-Ann Lizio
Contemporary Abstract Artist
Naples Florida
“The element of the unknown is most important in my work as I believe art always has a problem to solve, an analysis, leading to an unknown conclusion. Each solution contains the next problem. I am challenged by this on-going adventure, which by definition is infinite.” Jo-Ann Lizio
