BIOGRAPHY:

Aida Garrity discovered her passion for painting at the tender age of five when her mother enrolled her in children’s art classes at the local museum. Although her heart lied in the arts, Aida’s commitment to excel in school took precedence and in 1974, she won a full-tuition scholarship to study at the Imperial College University of London where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Metallurgical Engineering. In 2006, after thirty successful years in the engineering field, Aida decided pick up her paintbrushes and face the blank canvas that for so many years lay covered by a thin layer of plastic on her easel. With the encouragement of her family, Aida enrolled in the San Francisco Academy of Art University where she acquired her Masters in Fine Arts degree in 2010.

Inspired by life and beauty, Aida reflects her passion and interest in painting people by capturing and exploring their individual personalities, moods and emotions. And upon visiting the Norman Rockwell museum in Massachusetts, Aida was struck by Rockwell's skill in rendering a dramatic story using everyday scenes, and thus, she strives to capture the same kind of rich narrative in her scenes from everyday life.

Her work was selected by the jurors for inclusion since 2014 until present in several shows sponsored by the "The Salmagundi Club" in New York City, The Butler Institute of Arts, The Players of NYC, AWA American Women Artist, Indiana State Museum, Haggin Museum, Columbus Museum of Arts, Allied Artist of America, National Art Museum of Sport 2nd Annual International (NAMOS) "Commitment to Excellence in Art and Sport: A Fine Art Competition", in the 2011 National Oil and Acrylic Painters of America "Best of America" Exhibit, 2017 1st Small Paintings National Oil and Acrylic Painters of America "Best of America", The Hoosier Salon, 2017 Ohio Plein Air Society show that took place at the Columbus Museum of Arts, and several other national competitions.

Her work has also reached the international audience by being juried in the PNC Arts Alive Worthington-Samaya (Japan) Arts Exchange Exhibit which is taking place in Samaya (Japan) till January 8th 2013.

She was also selected in 2012 to be part of the prestigious Portrait Society of America mentoring program under the Cecilia Beaux Forum.
