Da Vinci

Author/Illustrator Mike Venezia has been getting to know the world's greatest artists for as long as he can remember. A graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mike believes the best way to introduce children to art and artists is through fun. If children can look at art in a fun way, and think of artists as real people, the exciting world of art will be open to them for the rest of their lives. Mike lives in a Chicago suburb with his wife, Jeannine, and children Michael Anthony and Elizabeth Ann. Mike's portrait was painted by an artist who claims to be a direct descendant of Leonardo da Vinci. It's the only known work of Ed da Vinci that exists in this country.Venezia, Mike is the author of 'Da Vinci' with ISBN 9780516422756 and ISBN 0516422758.
