Here is my background
information:
" The paint hypnotizes me as it reveals something that could not be expressed
in words. Forms slowly reveal themselves as already having been there. Like
a dance with inner conversation, painting for me, is the language of feelings
and self awareness."
Since I was very young, I have been fascinated with expressing myself through
color and images. I was born with the desire to create art. I traveled extensively
through Europe, Africa and Asia. In 1999, I was awarded a stipend to travel
to Morocco to paint with a group of artists. I spent the summer of 2000 in
Katmandu, Nepal volunteering for Helping Hands (a free clinic for the poor
people of Nepal). While there, I sketched many of the patients. All of these
experiences and travels have sharpened my artistic vision and aided me in
understanding the value of art in the world. I have studied at Parsons, NY,
Oregon State, OR, West Valley College, CA, SMFA, Boston, Wellesley College,
MA, The Angel Art Academy,
Italy, The Florence Art Academy, Italy, and with Daniel Greene, NY. My work
has been exhibited in California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Denmark,
and Austria. My studio is located in Florence, Italy.
