Expressive Forms

Sculptor and SAS instructor Rod Zullo discusses his inspirations and artistic process

- Rod Zullo

SCOTTSDALE ARTISTS' SCHOOL: Where do you find inspiration for your beautiful sculptures?

ROD ZULLO: In many ways-from music and philosophy and the history of all of those.

SAS: How did your artistic pursuits begin?

RZ: I started very young. My mom and dad both loved art. My grandmother was an oil painter. Unfortunately, multiple sclerosis shortened her career, but she enthusiastically gave me so much support for the art I loved. I was blessed for the opportunity to pursue art with the full support of my family. I say this because I know many artists do not have this kind of encouragement. If you love art, don't let anyone diminish that love.

SAS: Most people know you are a sculptor; however, you practice other mediums too. Tell us about this.
