I think about color all the time. Visualizing combinations of color, pattern, and design is what inspires me to paint. I have chosen interiors, room portraits, as my subject matter. Through the use of familiar objects, I create moments in time that, I hope, have meaning for the viewer. Much of my inspiration comes from the exquisite designs found in the natural world and from spirituality.
My work has been chosen for the Illuminations Exhibit that is held at Massachusetts General Hospital's Cancer Center. My paintings will be on view through the month of May.

Art makes a unique and lasting gift..........
BIO: At a very young age I became fascinated with colors and with the emotional impact of various color combinations. I had the benefit of being the sixth of six daughters; in many respects they were my mentors. In our family, Italian traditionsfamily, food, religionwere fundamental. When I was 10 years old, a family friend, an artist, recognized my talent and enrolled me in a class at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. After that seminal experience, I continued to draw and in high school I practiced drawing furniture pieces and chairs with fabric patterns. The Italian Renaissance became my favorite art history period and I often incorporated objects and themes from this period into my work. In college, I studied pottery, figure drawing and art history. After marrying, I had three sons, the youngest of whom was diagnosed with autism. Painting for me became a necessary therapy. What started as a part-time escape became a full-time profession and I am grateful every day to be able to do what I love. My studio is in my home. I have sold paintings all over the world and have exhibited in galleries and shows throughout the Northeast.
