Frank Serafino studied drawing and painting at Hammersmith College of Art in London England. Raised in Hamden, he recently retired from a career in architecture and construction. He has worked in pastels, but now devotes most of his time to painting landscapes and still life in oil.

Using a limited palette of about six colors plus black and white, he works in an alla prima style, which is Italian for “at once." Most paintings are completed in one session.
