Biography

Maureen Fulgenzi was born and raised in Westchester, NY.

Her artistic desires surfaced at an early age, as her teachers found it difficult to keep her attention away from a drawing pad and on class work.

After completing her secondary education, Ms Fulgenzi spent four years studying fashion and advertising at School of Visual arts in New York City. She then went on to freelance sketching and illustration for Sasson Jeans, Fairchild Publications and Buyers Fashion reports.

In 1976, Maureen participated in the partnership Gossamer Wing, which was responsible for introducing a new industry - hand painted textiles on silk - for New York couture.

The need to visualize them - to mix myriad dyes to achieve a desired effect - was the unique contribution Maureen made to the success of this venture.
