By helping others, I learned a lot more about my own work,” said Barilla. This young artist has had a lot of support. Both his par- ents, Joyce and John Sr. and Hand, his mentor, have been there every step of the way. “I started art lessons with Hand in third grade. She taught me everything I know,” he said. “She is fantastic. What she does is her gift,” said John Barilla Sr. of Hand. “She really goes out of her way to help everyone and volunteer her time and talents.” His parents began entering his art into contests and fairs to help show Barilla what he was capable of and to learn one of life’s lessons. “We entered him in contests so he could feel both rejection and winning,” said Barilla Sr. ‘Barilla is making his name known as he swipes top honors at contests throughout the area. Most recently, he won “Best of Show” for the Suzanne Maria Rossetti Memorial Art exhibit at College Misericordia. He has also showed well at both the Luzerne and Wyoming county fairs and the Bloomsburg Fair. He is capable of creating everything from post-impres- sionistic landscapes to natural- istic still-lifes. His influences include various animation artists and Vincent van Gogh.
