Agostino Arts Face Painting and Body Art
Agostino Arts is the operating name for Agostino & Co. Performing Arts, a partnership under the direction of Christopher Agostino and Lorraine Zeller. We joined forces in the late ‘80’s when Lorraine was a movement theatre artist touring her one-woman show in schools and theatres and Christopher was a face painter and a performer in the NY clown-theatre scene. We fell in love and were married. We continued with our own successful careers and gradually began to combine our efforts to produce greater results.

Kate Kelly is active in the arts community both as a visual artist and poet and was recently recognized as a New York State Woman of Distinction 2005 by Senator John Flanagan. Her sensitivity to the mystery of nature is expressed in her water scenes and of faun and fauna. Kate uses digital technology, an Olympus digital camera, and the tools available on the computer program Photoshop. Images are downloaded, added to and altered; the finished piece might in fact be a montage using upwards of ten, twenty, thirty or more photos combined with drawings. The end result rarely bears resemblance to the original digital photograph(s).

Rosanne Spiewak Ebner
Roseanne says this about her art . . “In a society where everything is becoming disposable, I find I am drawn to older structures and their weathered surfaces. Observing the resilience of a decaying structure trying to survive the elements and the beauty and depth in the layers that build up over time, I experience a sense of the history of that structure and how it evolved.”
