Gene Rizzo Born in Houma, Louisiana; a seacoast community famous for it's fabulous sport fishing and commercial seafood industry as well as it's many picturesque Cajun scenes, Gene, at an early age, began developing his artistic skills by capturing the natural beauty of nature's landscapes and seascapes with his sketches. Gene As a student in, and a graduate of, the LSU School of Architecture and Fine Arts, Gene was introduced to and taught the basics of watercolor by guest lecturer and famed watercolorist Edgar Whitney. After a long and successful career in architecture, Gene embarked upon a new and rewarding journey in watercolor art and after much practice, developed his own style of artistic watercolor techniques from which he has produced many nautical and architectural images. A Florida resident since 1986 and a member of the Florida Watercolor Society and the American Society of Marine Artists, Gene has become an acclaimed nautical watercolorist. His seascapes, lighthouses, swamp and beach scenes capture the total essence and moods of his subjects.
