PHOTOS: The Artwork Of Angelo Stavru

Retired artist and Navy veteran had exhibit Sunday at Sunrise Senior Living.

This Sunday at in Lynnfield, community members had the opportunity to check out some paintings by longtime professional artist Angelo Stavru, who is currently a resident there.

Stavru, 74, was joined at the exhibit by family members and senior staff members at Sunrise, and a classical pianist was even on hand to provide a musical background. 

A native of Lynn, Stavru served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1954 soon after his discharge. During his time in the service, he was an engine room worker on naval vessels. Later, as his MS became more pronounced, he switched to watercolors because this medium was more compatible to work with. He studied at the Vesper George Art Institute in Boston as well as the Franklin Institute. He created about 125 pieces during his career and his work displayed at numerous galleries and other places, including the Whistler House in Lowell. Many of his images reflect the scenery of New England and various spots around the Boston region.

The paintings were covered with glass, which means that there will be a few light tricks and things like that popping up in the photos. That said, enjoy this look at the images of a very talented local artist.
