About the Artist

When I visited Charleston as a tourist I was immediately struck by its  vibrant and large artistic community but I never thought I’d be part of it someday.

I was born and raised in Italy and I started playing with brushes and colors as a child but, growning up, I had less and less time for creativity till the day I decided to quit with a conventional job and start taking painting lessons.

In Italy I have studied with painters Sonny Insinna and Carmela Gulino; I have also taken ceramic lessons from the international known artist Susanna De Simone.

Then something really unbelievable happened : I won the “Green card” lottery and I moved to the States with my family.

Here I continued taking art classes with the teacher Joyce Hall.

My medium is oil, my painting derives from an emotional response to places and things I love, even simple objects from everyday life. I love finding beauty and poetry everywhere.

I took part to several collective exhibitions and solo.
