Salituri's judging skills come by having served as a judge for the California County Fair System over a period of 10 years.
Her art career started with studies at San Jose City College and many seminars with internationally known artists including Leonard Wren, Bill Schnider, Rom Villa and Edgard Garcia.
Since that time she has received many accolades for her work, which is done exclusively in oils.
Working from her Lake County home studio she superbly depicts from her artistic vision the Golden State's missions, courtyards, vineyards and wineries, which all reflect her talented use of vibrant color and composition to produce canvases of serenity, peacefulness and appreciation for her subject matter.
Her work has appeared in “Steppin' Out,” “Southwest Art” and “Art of the West” magazines.
Her work currently is featured in the Lee Youngman Gallery, Calistoga and her own Inspirations Gallery in Lakeport.
