Janet Pirozzi Riolo works exclusively in watercolor pencils. She earned her art degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Early in her career, she designed screen prints and did illustration work in NYC's Garment District. With her background in fashion, Riolo always draws upon and incorporates color, pattern and style in her work; whether she is working in actual realism or stylized realism, fashion is always a part of her art.

Colored pencil, my old childhood friend. When I was very young, a pencil was put in my hand. My father, an artist himself, said make your own coloring book. I have been creating that book ever since.
