Jenna Tomasello works as a specialty painter offering murals and decorative house painting, scenic backdrops for theater, and historic architectural restoration painting. She has been recognized by the Tucson-Pima County Historical Commission with a 2018 Historic Preservation Award for the restoration of the 1930’s-era decorative painting in Casa Cheruy.
In her personal art practice, Tomasello’s imagery contains elements of dreams, femininity, myths, and romance. She blurs the line between magical and physical realms, playing with realism and fantasy, and finding symmetry, patterns, and wonder in the natural world and the interior one. She has illustrated a collection of bandanas and other merchandise that she sells online through her website and in retailers throughout the southwest.
