BERNARDSVILLE, NJ – Nationally acclaimed sports and wildlife artist James Fiorentino will display his finest works of sports art from Thursday, January 2, 2014 through Sunday, March 2, 2014 at Studio 7 Fine Art Gallery, 5 Morristown Road in Bernardsville, New Jersey.

James Fiorentino is a New Jersey native. At age fifteen, he became the youngest artist to be featured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum for his likeness of Reggie Jackson. In 1998, James became the youngest artist to be inducted into the prestigious New York Society of Illustrators, along side of such artists as Norman Rockwell and Andrew Wyeth.

He has worked with many legends of the past and stars of today, including Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Cal Ripken Jr. and Muhammad Ali. His photo-realism in watercolor has helped him become a nationally known wildlife and portrait artist, painting people from everyday life to Presidents and Nobel Peace Prize winners.

Many of James’ works currently grace the walls of museums, galleries, companies and private collections. James’ work can be seen nationally in books and magazines and on trading cards. In 2001, “The Fiorentino Collection” consisted of approximately 100 paintings for Upper Deck Trading Cards depicting legends in five major sports.

Studio 7 is a valuable resource of Fine Art for private buyers and local design firms. The gallery exhibits and hosts many emerging and nationally renowned artists throughout the year. In addition to an extensive inventory of original works on canvas, Studio 7 showcases a large collection of original watercolors, pastels, sculptures and art glass.
