​My name is Valentina (Tina) Yannotti and my passion for art began the day I picked up a crayon. I have taken classes in drawing and painting at FLCC and have studied with Pat Rini Rohrer and Judy Suprano.  Drawing, ceramics, and acrylic painting were what I enjoyed but most of all oil painting is my favorite.  I enjoy oil painting due to the fact that oil does not dry fast and I can discover more colors and move the paint around with more freedom. Oil painting wasn't the only thing  discovered. While Plein Air  painting local marinas, farms, and parks I discovered how lucky I am to live in such a naturally beautiful area.  It was the serenity I felt in the presence of this area that compelled me, and brought out my passion to want to put that feeling and that beauty on canvas.
