COASTE | ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Pennisi spent the better part of 2015 preparing for his solo exhibit this January, and anticipates his works to sell for $1,500 to $9,000. “I’m very excited at the opportunity,” he says. “I’ve been at other shows, but always with other artists. This is very gratifying and I’ll be able to show a cohesive body of work.” Now 60 years old and with a six-year-old daughter, Steve Pennisi moved his family to the Fort Myers area to be closer to other family members here and in Orlando — and in the process found a whole new life through his work. “This is one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever done. To pursue my dream, and then to discover this technique — it’s given me my map for the rest of my life. When I’m in the studio I feel as young as I’ve ever been.”
