MY WORK. I live and work in Frankston, Victoria, Australia. Having studied a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1984 at Monash Unisersity, I draw my inspiration from the natural work - seascapes, flowers, and the curves and planes of the human form. My artworks are riots of colour and texture, capturing the essence of my subjects with thick, luscious acrylics intermingled with inks, pastels, and whatever other mediums best illuminate the emotions I fell while painting. OTHER INFLUECENES Both my parents were amazing pastry chefs, and growing up I was surrounded by cakes made up of gorgeous tiers of deliciousness. Custard, chocolates, jams, sponge, cheesecakes and various creams layered up and merging together. The way I paint reminds me of those desserts from my childhood - using multiple thick layers and textures of paint and other mediums to describe a subject. "I want my work delicious to the eye." SOMETHING ABOUT MYSELF I was born in Italy in 1966. Ironically we arrived in Australia on April fool’s day when I was 5 years old. From that point on my life was never the same again, I felt an alienation bulling and loneliness that no child should be allowed to feel. My creative nature led to more self-absorption. Paint, pencils, paper and canvas became my friends while line, colour, tone, form and texture became my language. My art didn’t need me to learn words, because it spoke for itself. I still find myself alone, even more so now after the recent loss of my husband. When I think about the past I am slowly learning to take comfort in it. I truly believe that no God would put anyone through all of these hardships without a reason. Out of the solitude and loneliness my best ideas and works are born. "All I know is ‘my art has always prevailed to save me’. And because of this, he must have a reason why he wishes me to paint?"
