Tucson, AZ – The Desert Vista Art Gallery is proud to announce a new exhibit showcasing the exceptional work of the late Edward J. Musante. This exhibition, running from June 10 to Aug. 28, features 21 pieces of Musante’s distinctive paintings and drawings.
Edward J. Musante, who died in 2022, was an accomplished artist known for his deep connection to nature. He was born in Honolulu and raised in San Francisco. His journey included receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from University of California-Berkeley, Peace Corps service in Niger, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from ArtCenter College of Design. He earned his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Idaho and continued his creative work in Tucson from 2012 until his death.
Musante’s work has been represented by many prestigious galleries, including Paul Thiebaud Gallery in San Francisco, California; Gail Severn Gallery in Ketchum, Idaho; Tayloe Piggott Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming; and Etherton Gallery in Tucson. He described painting as an act of exploration and discovery, aiming to illuminate the viewer through the art.
