Charles Fazzino Donates Original Painting to The Ursuline School
Charles Fazzino and The 2008 Ursuline
School AP Art Class and
the painting they created together
Charles Fazzino donated his time and efforts to create, along with the
aid of the
2008 Ursuline School AP Art Class, a large, three-dimensional painting
celebrating the school and its heritage. The resulting work, "Ring
Day at Ursuline,"
has been permanently installed at the school. Earlier this year, Fazzino
spent an afternoon
at Ursuline, working with the AP Art students to put the work together.
"I have been a devoted fan of the Ursuline School for many years,"
said Fazzino
from his New Rochelle Art Studio. "My daughter is graduating from
there this
May and I wanted to do something that would make sure that she
remembers her experiences here for the rest of her life. And I wanted
to
give a gift to the school that has been so instrumental in her up-bringing."
The Students, along with School Principal Eileen Davidson and
President Sr. Jean Baptiste Nicholson, helped Fazzino unveil and install
the work at the School earlier this month. "It is an honor to have
an original
Fazzino in our gallery and especially one so uniquely Ursuline,"
said Ms. Davidson.
"The fact that Mr. Fazzino allowed our student artists to participate
in the project makes it that much more meaningful."
