JOHN MELILLO’S EAST END PERSPECTIVE

John Melillo, Vietnam Veteran/East End Artist is honored to present at SAC his ART Journey and progression of healing as an Artist! He paints two themes; East End and the Lighter Side of Vietnam. Through a compelling presentation of ART & Video, he will take you through his ART journey where his family heritage settled in 1910 around the corner from SAC and still resides today. These memories have supplied his ART an inspiration he calls a “Tom Sawyer Adventure.” He will share his Seascapes paintings that have evolved to capture his unique experiences of fishing all the waters of the East End as well as Landscapes he remembers circa 1950 on. His Paintings Keep evolving, getting Bigger and he challenges himself ongoing to bring the viewer on a journey. He will then bring you through his “Life Goes on Series” Experience where he paints from his Original Photos he took in Vietnam. You will see his “FLAG” Series Live that represents comradery throughout the community. Each year he paints a New Flag to represent inspiration and thank all for their service!
