I am a self taught painter from the U.S. where I have an in-house studio. I specialize in vibrant interiors still lifes-, room portraits and botanical designs. I work in acrylics in a variety of sizes from small to large canvases. My subject matter ranges from whimsical animals to interiors scenes with a renaissance influence. I am from a big Italian creative family. As a child, I was always interested in color and color combinations. Growing up, I sketched and painted and decorated. My first real job was in fashion retail buying. After marrying and starting a family I began painting again. My youngest son was diagnosis with autism. Painting for me became a necessary therapy. I am so grateful that I get to do what I love everyday.

Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
