About our Landscape Painting Class teacher:

Marge Colavito is a graduate of Jersey City Junior College and New York University. Her great passion for art inspired her in 1964 to establish the Upstairs Art Gallery, literally up-the-stairs at 896 Bergen Ave in Jersey City, where she teaches painting classes, frames art, and holds continuing exhibitions.

Colavito has a number of recognitions and awards for her landscapes, still lifes, and portraits in oil, in a style inspired by the Masters of her Italian ancestry. She is a member of the prestigious Salmagundi Club, the American Artists Professional League, the Wesfield Art Association, and also chairs the Hudson Artists of New Jersey.
