“I am always honored to have my works displayed at D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center,” said Fiorentino. “It is one of the best spaces to showcase art and to also have an exhibition with other great artists such as my friend Patrick McDonnell, making it even more special. This exhibition has some of my best works that I have been able to put down on paper in watercolor depicting nature and wildlife.”
