Carol Hoffman:
A lot of my work is real photos of people, places and everyday objects. I love the way light can take an object and transform it into something beautiful and illuminated. With some help from me, I can manipulate the photo and keep the true nature of it, or create a new picture with it's own beauty, mystery and illumination.

Piero Spadaro
Michael Corbin


Piero is a young artist who I kind of met at "The Artists Fair" in Miami, Florida back in December 2008. I say "kind of met" because I remember nodding at him when I entered the fair and when I came back around to his booth, he had gone out for lunch, so I spent time admiring his art while chatting with his lovely mom. Anyway, I took his information and contacted him for an interview. I'm very glad that I did. After you read our chat, check out his website at www.pierospadaro.com You'll no doubt discover that the polite and generous spirit reflected in this interview definitely lives in his art.

MICHAEL: Hi Piero. First of all, you've got a cool name. If "Piero Spadaro" isn't the name of an artist bound for greatness, I don't know what is. We sort of met at "The Artists Fair." What did you hope to achieve by displaying your work there? As you know, art fairs can be like a crapshoot. Was it worth it?
