Born and raised in San Francisco CA, USA, I decided to follow the artistic calling in my heart at age 16. (An inspiring exhibit of Vincent Van Gogh's work at the de Young Museum was the clincher.) I loved working in oil paints from the start, and still paint in oils almost exclusively -- making visible a variety of subject matter. My given name is Darlene Pucillo, but I sign my paintings puci. My husband and I now live in Livingston, Montana (USA), our son living further east.

Collectors of my work can be found all over the globe. I welcome all inquiries and comments: puciart@gmail.com
