I like writing things in my journal that make me happy and also things that are stressful to me.

Either way, it’s always therapeutic. And I am trying to cut back on smoking.

Online exhibition ‘River of Dreams’ with Contemporary Art Curator June 14 – October 14, 2021

Happy to announce my participation in an online exhibition, ‘River of Dreams’ with Contemporary Art Curator June 14 – October 14, 2021.

”Our art is our dream. The dream is a symbolic journey towards the most private part of the human soul. The theme of dreams goes through the idea of a journey, reflection, discovery, knowledge and emotion. The dream is a gateway into the deepest space of the soul. Dreams are potent driving forces in life. Dreams are the source, followed by hard work for the dreams to come true, and that’s the magic and beauty of life.” -CAC.

SSG Presents:
Of Beauty & Chaos
featuring Vito Bonanno and Samantha Smith
February 6th thru March 14th
Opening February 6th, 1-4PM


VITO BONANNO, is a Westbrook artist whose work is collected internationally. He has been featured in Art Basel Miami and is in the permanent corporate collection of AMAZON. Vito brings a
mix of hyper-focused aesthetic blending street art, pop culture, hopes and dreams from his unfiltered world to the canvas by tapping into the daily emotional and social challenges of living with autism. Image and concept driven, his colorful hybrid dream-state aesthetic is where conceptual and abstract expressionism styles collide.


SAMANTHA SMITH, is a local artist who has been featured at SSG for over 6 years. She is a graduate of Lyme Academy of Fine Arts and Pratt Institute. Samantha’s work is a blend of figurative, surreal and nature, often fitted with dreamy elusive narrative. She headlined in SSG show “After the Machines” and most recently during New York Fashion Week.

I wanted to highlight one of my favorite pieces: ‘The Wiseman’

There’s something about The Wiseman that I always loved, it’s hanging in my home and it’s one of my favorite paintings. ‘Wiseman’, made with oil paint, india ink, and oil stick on canvas, 36″H x 24″W. “The New England-based artist taps into the daily emotional and social challenges of living with autism, placing his innermost feelings onto canvas. His work is image and concept driven and embedded in his personal philosophy. His art contains the essence of his life, feelings, thoughts and dreams, coupled around objects or topics that ‘get stuck in his head’, including traffic lights, grids, ceiling fans, graffiti and pop culture.”

“The characters, objects, and ideas that inhabit Vito Bonanno’s work act and interact in striking ways. Caught within the grids and map-like structures he imagines, they are often in a struggle between multiple worlds. He has found a way to tap in the intensity of focus and insight afforded him through autism to unleash a formidable creative power and vision.” -Elizabeth Peterson, Director of Akus Gallery at Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU).

Artist Vito Bonanno: Traffic Lights, Ceiling Fans & Toilets…. Oh My!

“His art contains the essence of his life, feelings, thoughts and dreams, coupled around objects or topics that “get stuck in his head”, including traffic lights, grids, ceiling fans, graffiti and pop culture.” I have a collection of traffic lights in my studio. Every once in a while I get invited to the Connecticut Department of Transportation, the DOT, and they let me check out all the traffic lights that have been taken down, out of commission. They let me pick something out to add to my collection everytime!

I began a new series of work called ‘Life Interrupted’

I recently started a new series called Life Interrupted which began with the creation of a painting I titled, ‘Pizza Interrupted‘. The piece is 48″H x 36″W made with mixed medium including oil paint, india ink, and oil paint pen. It is the first in this series with more to come!

Pizza Interrupted is like a documentary on canvas, about how a sudden abrupt event can change life as we know it. It outlines the flood of emotions and feelings of helplessness and fragmentation, while the use of vibrant colors can still bring a smile to our heart in the face of uncertainty and difficulty, reminding us of the power, resilience and always hopeful spirit of humanity.
