Welcome! Benvenuti!
Well into one of the harsher winters I seek solace more than ever
in creativity. The endurance alone is a constant reminder of the
importance of being here right now. My concentration on the female
form continues to be the inspiration in Italy, while in California I find
myself more in tune with the landscape.
I have recently moved into a new studio space in Piacenza with more
room to grown in while living abroad. My artworks have doubled in
size and volume.
While further expressing the theme of Adaptation and what it means
to be a foreign woman living abroad through my artworks, I am also
introducing new subject material to each contemporary and surreal
scene that I paint. Themes such as detachment, departure, Travelblur,
new anthropology, subculture, "species consciousness" , and the living
universe are being interwoven into my visual storytelling. Please check
out the current projects section to preview these works or browse through
the site to see my evolution as an artist.
Back to the drawing board...
Thanks! Mille Grazie!
