About

Growing up in the colorful city of San Francisco and studying art in historic Florence, Italy gave me a wide range of artistic abilities. Experience as a graphic, portrait, and mural artist have helped me find my true expression in the contemporary art world. I start every painting with a handmade alder wood frame stretched with organic cotton canvas. After gesso, I apply a water-based layer, giving the painting texture. Layers of gold, silver, and copper leaf are then followed by French-milled, museum quality oil paint and resin. This unique layering technique gives my paintings a luminous quality ranging from peaceful and ethereal to vibrant and lively.

Currently based in Denver, my creativity mirrors an internal landscape of emotion inspired by Colorado’s dramatic, wide open spaces. I paint with the skill and aesthetic sensitivity acquired from experience and a fearless exploration of endless possibilities.

“My paintings are evolving, as we all are. I have always explored the unknown, played with the mystery of creation, yet lately I find myself unveiling even more in my art. Rather than look at something and paint it, I translate something I feel into an image. I paint a view of life from the inside out.

Internally ignited, shapes and forms have dynamic presence and colors reflect a hypersensitive spectrum. Incandescence, luminosity, and radiance inspire me. From this internal perspective of meditative contemplation, light creates a path to follow, regardless of recognizable content. A new paradigm is offered by a shift in perspective. The unknown becomes beautiful and alive with potential.”
