Born near Trieste, Italy, Fabio Deponte and his family immigrated to the U.S. in 1956. He studied art in Boston and began his art career in the commercial art field as art director and designer. Eventually, Fabio’s need to paint and love of art took him to illustration and, finally, to open White Pickets Studio with his life partner and artist, Sara. He has been making and exploring his art for over 30 years in a variety of mediums.
“As a young immigrant you tend to view your surroundings and people as an observer, trying to get the lay of the land. This aspect has never left me. Today I observe for humor in the mannerisms and body language of people and animals as they go about their day. As an artist, I feel compelled to search, experience, and explore not just technique and subject matter but the atmosphere one creates for a viewer to be drawn in to see, rather than just look once, then come back and see again.”~Fabio
