I’m a pastel artist based in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, creating vibrant floral and landscape paintings inspired by my Colorado upbringing and my Italian roots.  I grew up on my family’s farm, surrounded by colorful vegetables, flower beds, and the Rocky Mountains.  Those early years taught me how beauty, hard work, and family traditions shape a life, and all of that finds its way into my art.

When I paint, I’m celebrating life’s simple pleasures fresh flowers on the table, gatherings with friends, family, good food, good wine, and meaningful conversations.  Working in pastel on archival sanded paper, I try to capture the emotion and energy of flowers in a way that brings joy, comfort, and connection into a home.
 

My mission is simple: to create artwork that makes people feel something joy, calm, nostalgia, or just a moment of beauty in the middle of a busy day. 

 

La vita è bella, life truly is beautiful.… and my art is my way of sharing that with you.
