"I make paintings that celebrate life: it’s beautiful & tender moments paying tribute to friends, family, and humor, in tandem with the unavoidable pain and loss that makes the good times something worth cherishing. I make paintings as an escape and resistance to the hardships that I have faced in life, and to create magical spaces that my viewers can also escape into."

With an MFA from the University of Central Florida, she specializes in magical landscapes and portraiture. Her work pays homage to love, friendship, and family, crafting fantastical spaces imbued with whimsical and fanciful elements reminiscent of classic Disney films, yet grounded in the quirks of contemporary human existence.

          Palmisano's paintings are a riot of vibrant colors, rich in symbolism and storytelling. As she aspires to cultivate a community within the Florida art scene, she is an accomplished muralist who brings art into the outside world. From small scale to Palmisano's large-scale works, which range from 10ft x 25ft, she creates an immersive experience, inviting viewers to step into the world she conjures on her canvases.
