"Brushstrokes have meaning and direction because they are made by a human hand... This hand carries a message of life and movement that humans understand."

- Laura Pizzuto-Velaz, 2007

Baas Art Gallery and Framing is pleased to present works by Laura Pizzuto-Velaz, a master painter residing in Pennsylvania.  The expressive power of the human form as expressed in paint is at the heart of Pizzuto-Velaz's seven decade career.  Working from memory, life, and art historical sources, she creates layered compositions rich with emotional and psychological dimensions.
