ARTIST’S BIOGRAPHY
Wayne Joseph Yacino is a native of Oxford, Massachusetts, who is of Metis (French – Abenaki), Italian and Polish descent. He began painting at the age of 5 years. As a self-taught artist, and with over 60 years of experience, he has had the opportunity to live in Europe for 2 years during his military tour with NATO. He has displayed several of his pieces in Vicenza, Italy. He has also displayed his woodwork and paintings throughout the United States.
The artist has done extensive research into Native American imagery and has taught the Ancient American Skills the first weekend in October, at the Annual Water’s Farm Days event in Sutton, Massachusetts, from 1996-2022.
The artist’s goal is: “To share with the viewer my emotions and Spiritual experiences through my art; to rise above the mundane, and to bring honor and Glory to my God.”
Whatever his subject, he finds great joy and blessing in the way the eye moves through a painting and follows the interaction of all the colors.
Vision looks to tomorrow and sees the reality that should exist today. Vision is the ability to dream – to dream better things in a better world. Vision brings power to a life that might otherwise be meaningless.
