FTER retiring from Fisher-
Price, she got
back into water-color.
She does
commissions here
and there but says she paints
what she would want to hang in
her home. Illustration is still very
much a part of her process. Each
painting begins with a drawing
utilizing graphite pencils that
then dissolves when the paint is
applied.
She currently teaches a virtual
watercolor class at Cameron
Art Museum and recently won
Wilmington Art Association’s
spring show poster contest
for her piece Cactus Rose. The
painting was created on Yupo, a
nonporous paper that allows for
brighter palettes than conven-tional
watercolor paper, which
Castiglione has enjoyed working
with.
Today, watercolor possesses
an ethereal sense. Castiglione
notes the trend is moving to
hyper-realistic paintings, yet she
wants to remain true to herself in
creating what makes her happy.
Much like how her pieces arise
from a simple moment of bliss
or thing of beauty, that is how
she also interprets creation —
a joyous passion that brings
happiness from the process to
the paper.
