Meet the Artist
Emerging artist, Fred SanGuiliano has developed his own style of painting. Influenced by his love of the
impressionist art, Fred uses oils and acrylics often on reclaimed wood as well as on wood panels and canvas.
With no formal art training, Fred attempted his first painting on a whim in 2017 when he was 63 years old.
Inspired by a photograph that his wife had taken while the two were in Carrabelle Florida, Fred began painting,
using an old scrap wood in lieu of a canvas. His first work captured the sun glimmering on the gulf water just
off a deserted beach.
Legally blind from a rare eye disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa, Fred has no vision in his left eye, and only a
pinhole of blurry sight remaining in his right. Ever the artist, he jokes that his world has become a Monet
painting viewed through a straw. His work includes impressionist landscapes, still life, portraits and abstracts.
Fred’s work can be found in the homes and offices of art collectors around the country and as far away as
Australia and Italy.
