As an Italian born immigrant that moved to the pacific Northwest after almost a decade in Australia, my art practice reflects diversity in the stories I tell and the materials and forms I explore. I love painting, drawing, tinkering and making, yet what I love the most is reflecting through art — processing context through diverse techniques, voices and mediums.

 

My architecture degree and design inclinations have deeply influenced my art making.  My brain and my hands think in textures, layers and 3D. I grew up in Italy, a country filled with history and patina, and my work frequently references or is heavily inspired by a world made of antiquities and vintage imagery. Melancholy is a comfortable home. ​

 

While I like decorations and decorative craft, my artistic practice is uncompromisingly focused on telling and sharing stories that I believe are meaningful. As an artist I have little to no interest in producing art that is created as a purely aesthetic endeavor. Because of that, and because of my past studies in arts-based research, my artworks – while witty in appearance or even colorful – are rarely created with the pure intent of satisfying one’s eye. 

​

I rather make one's mind think and one's heart leap.

I also love the art community and diverse types of artistic expressions. ​Because of that, in 2023 I left my high tech life and made my childhood dream come true, opening imperfecta, an art and design gallery dedicated to women artists and minority creatives. 

​I have the privilege to be one of the many artists in the gallery, and such a privilege means that I get to make art when I feel and want. ​
