ABOUT

"We do not remember days, we remember moments." – Cesare Pavese

 

I’ve always been drawn to those fleeting, beautiful moments—like sunlight transforming the ordinary into something magical.

 

My love for painting began early, inspired by my father and his watercolors. I studied graphic design at Massachusetts  College of Art, and spent many fulfilling years helping  clients bring their ideas into reality. 

As grateful as I was for that success, I missed the freedom of creating art for "art's sake". It feels great to be painting again.

​

I also care deeply about animal welfare. I'm currently working on a children’s book about Kito, a young elephant forced into the circus, and a series of coloring books promoting compassion.

 

Thanks for visiting. I’m grateful to share my work with you.
