This summer I was lucky enough to attend my first artist residency. High on a hill above the ancient Valle Camonica in the town of Cividate Camuno in Lombardy, surrounded by the majestic embrace of the Italian Alps, stands RUC. This mystical place is an ancestral home where artists from all over the world come to work in and be inspired by nature and history.
Miami Art Week is one of the most attended art events in the world and this year I am headed there to show my work for the very first time! I'm proud to share that my work has been selected by PULSE Art Fair Director, Cristina Salmastrelli as part of The Next Generation exhibit - an initiative designed to showcase the artwork of emerging artists during Miami Art Week.
This month I'm all about that dark olive/hunter green with a touch of brassy peach and of course, lots of depth and texture. Lately I'm using a lot of these tones in my original paintings and in my wardrobe.
Going through a website revamp and redesign is A LOT of work. My previous website launched almost 7 years ago but internet years are like dog years and I was long overdue for a change. Here are four very important lessons I learned when I rebranded and redesigned my website.
I am thrilled to share that my exclusive artwork is on display and for sale on the 7th floor of Bergdorf Goodman in New York City with Chairish! It’s an honor to be a part of this dream collaboration!
I’ve been thinking about my tendency to try to convince myself that I shouldn’t be nervous about a situation. I want to own my feelings and let myself experience whatever I need to experience so why block myself from important emotions? Well, experimenting is an important part of my art practice and as someone who is usually nervous about and overthinking on all the things, this idea of embracing all the feelings (especially the hard ones) has finally made its way into other areas of my life. What a concept! The freedom!

“The Storm We Weathered.” is a collection of oil paintings created in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic that explores themes of self-reflection, the human condition, community and identity. As the world begins to slowly open up again, the works explore a yearning to connect with each other after living in an extended period of isolation since the start of 2020. The overall sentiment remains and the paintings are accessible and visually calming, yet still chaotic and slightly out of reach.
You can now find a selection of my work in-house at Reservoir — a beautifully curated shop located at 101 Main Street in historic Cold Spring, New York. Please join us this Friday, July 23rd, from 4 pm to 7 pm for the soft opening and Artist Reception and thereafter during store hours by appointment.
