Welcome To My Website!!
Hello everyone, and thank you for stopping by my website today!
My name is Laura Rusciolelli, and I am a self-taught Pennsylvania artist involved
in all art mediums but especially drawn to watercolors. Animals and birds figure prominently in a lot of my work, and I very
much enjoy capturing people's beloved pets on paper & canvas. I also enjoy still life and floral subjects.
For over two years now I have been fascinated with and specializing in
an exciting, relatively new form of miniature art known as ACEO (Art Card Editions and Originals), also known as ATC
(Art Trading Cards). These little gems are the size of a baseball trading card, 2.5" x 3.5", and are a fun & inexpensive
way to collect original works of art. I have sold ACEOS all across the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom,
France, and Japan, to name a few, and even one to Iceland!
I also have an amazing studio built onto my home in which I teach children's art classes. Please
make sure to check out the children's art page by clicking on the link below or in the navigation bar.
A great BIG thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me to dream big and follow
the artistic path. A very special thank you to a wonderful local artist, Storma French, who has been my mentor these past
few years and to the other women in my art group whose enthusiasm and kind words helped to set my feet on this journey. Please
look around the site, and any feedback or suggestions will be gratefully accepted! Remember to sign the guest book through
the link at the bottom of this page. I am always updating the albums, so please stop back to see what's new!

New Work-In-Progress
I've begun a new project, a collaged "painting" of a baby elephant. The size is approx.
13 x 18, and I am using rice paper as my paint/texture. First I used watercolor to pre-paint the rice paper, and I am
tearing it and applying it with an acrylic collage medium as I go to create shadow & amazing texture. I am also
using acrylic paint in certain areas, particularly where extreme dark is needed. I hope you enoy seeing the little guy
come to life.
