About the Cover Artist

Bernard Dellario

“From the beautiful to the discarded, I am inspired by many things as an artist. I rarely know what will be the subject of my painting, but once discovered, I strive to articulate my impression of that reality into a collection of abstract shapes, strong design and color.”

Bernard Dellario earned a bachelor’s degree from King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, Penn., with emphasis on finance and art history. He studied art at the Art League School in Alexandria, Va., and attended several workshops with nationally known artists. He has been a member of the Washington Society of Landscape Painters (WSLP), one of the oldest active artist organizations in the Washington area, since 2003 and currently serves as president.

Bernard teaches painting classes through several venues, has won national awards and exhibits throughout the Maryland Eastern Shore and Washington, D.C., region.

The cover painting is titled “Morning Solitude.”

Bernard’s work can be seen locally at Studio B Gallery in Easton, the Crystal Moll Gallery in Baltimore and the Amy Kaslow Gallery in Washington, D.C., or on his website at bjdellario.com .
