Witch of a Woman

I am self-taught and this was my 1st real try at creating a painting. Beginning in 1971, I just did pen and ink black and white drawings with ink and markers. After a near death experience, while on vacation in Cape Cod, at a flea market, my 2nd wife said to me "Why don't you buy some paints and try painting." That was in the 1980s and the start of my painting career. As I progressed, I taught myself how to blend and work with paint. When a person sees one of my paintings, they do not have to see the signature — they know it is a Piliero. I have developed my own unique style. But it is never about the money with my art — it is about the feeling that comes out of a small place inside me. If I do not go within, I go without!
