DON REGGIO

Native Louisianan, Don Reggio, is a professional artist whose paintings reflect his experiences and a heritage of Louisiana ancestry dating back to the 1760s. Training since childhood in the fields of music, dancing, gymnastics, and art has brought unusual versatility to his works. Educated in New Orleans schools, he received private art instruction under Robert M. Rucker. In 1971 he graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from U.N.O. Today, his oils, watercolors, and egg temperas are exhibited in galleries throughout Louisiana and appear in numerous private collections in the United states. His various achievements in public and juried shows include acceptance in the France-Louisiana Art Exhibition and first place awards in the Pirate's Alley Art Exhibition in New Orleans, and in the Jambalaya Art Festival in Gonzales.
