Artist Statement:
I express myself through
poetry and painting. Paintings
and words are my path to
connection and peace. It
provides me joy the joy of
creation and allows me to
share beauty and emotion with
others. I can touch strangers
on an intimate level, while
sharing art and elegance from
the world that surrounds me.
I have been selling artwork
and paintings for more than 18
years. My work began with
mixed media creations: fiber
arts, mosaic tiled work, metal
sculpture, and jewelry. As my
art turned to painting, I
evolved to the form you see
today: sculpture on wood (or
canvas) to form works with an
impasto-like two-dimensional
depth complete with layers and
layers of paint.
My innovative, childlike,
whimsical, playful style
blends the tactile depth of
sculpture with the rich tones
of acrylics, oils, and
24-karat gold leaf.
Growing up in a large Italian
and French family in Portland,
Oregon, my art is influenced
by the passion and expression
of my heritage. I thrive on
culture, fine cuisine, and
travel, having spent time
exploring more than 20
countries from Europe, the
Caribbean and Central America
to all parts of the US.
I always revert to painting
