Monet

Author/Illustrator Mike Venezia has been getting to know the world's greatest artists for as long as he can remember. A graduate of The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, Mike believes the best way to introduce kids to art and artists is through fun. If kids can look at art in a fun way, and think of artists as real people, the exciting world of art will be open to them for the rest of their lives. Mike lives in a Chicago suburb with his wife, Jeannine, and children Michael Anthony and Elizabeth Ann. Influenced by Monet, Mike has created a series of paintings from his own garden. The work at the left, Garden-End of Summer, is the first painting in the series.Venezia, Mike is the author of 'Monet' with ISBN 9780516422763 and ISBN 0516422766.
