Raised in Pittsburgh, Palermo was a professional boxer and served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. He studied art in Paris and Spain and had a studio in Madrid for 10 years in the 1970s. There, he gained hands-on experience with the great 20th century master, Joan Miro, whose influence is very prevalent in Palermo’s paintings. In Las Vegas, Palermo, brought the community wonderful exhibitions including Dali, Marc Chagall, Asian 2000, Guccione.
