Sketching her way around
town, the Village Santo Domingo resident has art displayed at
Rohan and Fenney Recreation
centers. She converts much of
her work into calendars and
coloring books for purchase at
local art shows.
"A few years ago, coloring
books became a craze," she said.
"Did you know there are around
17 different groups you can join
here to color? I started going to
the meetings and it was such a
joy. Many of the members are
budding artists - finally finding
time in their lives to devote to
art. There's a hush in the room,
and you see they are really into
it, and they can't wait to show
me what they've done with my
drawings."
At 94 years young, Venturoni
continues to draw to stay
busy, creatively engaged and
connected to the community.
She wields the only implements
she's ever needed to enjoy life -
pen, paper and perspective.
