Exhibiting the Art of Aldo Arena

April 1- May 27, 2026

Aldo Arena is a retired Northrop Grumman engineer, having retired as a Senior Technical Fellow after a 42-year career in Bethpage NY. Since his retirement, Aldo has established an engineering consulting company which has provided consulting services to the US Navy to this day.

“The spare time afforded me by retirement has made it possible to explore my love of painting and 18 years ago I started oil painting with the help of night classes offered by the town of Smithtown. What I find most fascinating is that when you allow yourself to advance in your skills you become surprised at what you can accomplish as an artist. While I have a long way to go, I have no illusions of counting myself among established artists. I look with anticipation at what tomorrow may bring.”

 Below are selected works from the exhibit- 13 pieces will be on display!
