Louis Mastro does not let a day pass without some sketching, planning new work or painting on a work-in-progress, enjoying a conversation with neighbors and prospective collectors or quietly playing on his classical guitar.

Portraits, figures and nudes are additional areas of his aesthetic accomplishment, executed with mastery in a variety of mediums.  His oils, pastels and watercolors reflect a sensitivity to detail while at the same time lyrically capturing the mood of the setting with a deep understanding of nature and light.  His eye and brush elicits soft shades and tones yet shows us how powerful and miraculous living in the world can be.

Louis has exhibited his work at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, NY, the Leonard Gallery in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and in Lagos, Portugal.  He has been president of the Mount Vernon Art Association, a member of the Salmagundi Club of New York City, and the Hudson River Art Association, Professional League of NY, North Shore Art Association, the NY Water Color Association of Glens Falls and the Broward Art Guild in Fort Lauderdale.  He has won many awards and prizes.  A major honor was his selection by President Eisenhower as one of "Fifty American Artists."

Now in his nineties Louis Mastro continues to pursue his art with strength and dedication in Florida and Rockport, Massachusetts where he operates his own gallery.
