Biography
Alberta Cifolelli is a painter, printmaker, and professor of art. She has had over 50 one-person exhibitions throughout the United States including a fifty year retrospective at the Stamford Museum. She was represented in the monumental "Four Centuries of Women Artists," work from the permanent collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts that toured Japanese museums for one year. She was selected to be one of Connecticut's best artists in three separate exhibitions at The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, the Bruce Museum, and the Connecticut Gallery. Her work is in over 100 public collections.
Cifolelli has taught at The Cleveland Institute of Art, Kent State University, Sacred Heart University, and other institutions. In 1999 she was keynote speaker for the Pennsylvania Art Educators.
Her work is described by Donald Kuspit as " . . . landscape that symbolizes human concerns . . . raw instinct and human interest are synthesized in Cifolelli's nature so that one hardly notices it. This is the ultimate triumph."
