Stella Alesi
Stella Alesi has been practicing the art of painting since she announced out loud, at the age of eleven, “I am going to be an artist!” That was New Jersey in 1974. In 2005 Alesi received a full fellowship to the Vermont Studio Center residency program. All along the way Alesi has continually exhibited, and presently resides in Austin, Texas.
