Dennis Cardalisco

Dennis Cardalisco (b. 1946, Boston, MA) has made art as far back as he can remember. His journey began with coloring for hours as a kid. Working with pencil drawings and paint by numbers, Dennis moved on to clay modeling and pursued painting in oil and acrylics. Dennis earned a fine arts degree at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. He has pursued many occupations, yet art was a constant backdrop in his life; always simmering to find expression. He still finds excitement and delight in the perennial bloom of art in his life.

Dennis’ work was featured in ‘Distinct Fragments,’ on view July 12-27, 2025.

“My paintings are abstract experimentation. Nature’s colors fuel my process as layers create depth and atmosphere. I am always attempting to create unique design effects creating unprecedented luminosity. I work intuitively. Music, memories and feelings can trigger an artistic response from me.I find a relaxing joy, combining meditation and spiritual insight to find fragments of distinct imagery.”
