MINA GRECO HALL

“I began painting in my teens and studied in private schools in Taranto, the Italian port where I was born, soon having an exhibit in the Taras Gallery in that city. I participated next in Lipari, Sicily in 1956; in Rome in an international exhibit; and in various other Italian cities such as Termoli, Campobaso, Ligure, the Brera Gallery in Milan, etc.

“In the early 1960’s, I emigrated to the US and made Lansing, MI my home. Several newspapers and books in Italy and the US have carried pictures and my information. From Lansing I received a silver medal at the Cannes International Art Festival in France in 2005, and in the same year, the prestigious Szepmuvestzeti Museum in Budapest, Hungary, included me in an international exhibition. I also exhibited in the Louvre Art Museum, in Paris, in an international exhibit, in 2005.

“My autobiography entitled From Italy to America with Love, was published by Xlibris in 2012 revealing my life as a child in WWII in Taranto, Italy, as well as my artistic career there and in Michigan.”
