Roger Nannini has become an accomplished primitive/trompe l'oeil artist, whose talent is appreciated and recognized by collectors and publishers around the world. Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Roger eventually moved to sunny California at the age of 15. He sold his treasured '57 Corvette to pay for tuition at Los Angeles' prestigious Art Center School of Design. At the same time, he continued to study with many of the leading painters in California, where he consistently won awards for his paintings and illustrations in open art competitions. In 1991, Roger was recognized as one of America's foremost painters by Artist Magazine. His fanciful designs have been appreciated by children's publishers worldwide. Several of Roger's images have also been used by Ceaco Puzzles for their Home Sweet Home boxed collection and their Keepsake Tin series.
