“Forever Friends” pastel, 6” x 6”
I am a full-time artist living and working in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
“Summer Dream “ pastel, 8” x 10”
I was born and raised in Colorado and began my art career on our family’s vegetable farm. As a little girl I loved drawing with sticks in the ditch banks. I drew my family, the farm, animals, and of course lots of flowers.
“Love You” pastel, 6” x 6”
My art is influenced by my Italian upbringing, the colors of the fruits and vegetables, and cascading flower gardens. It was in 2003, during a life drawing class in Scottsdale, Arizona, that my artistic journey took a defining turn. I was introduced to pastels. I loved the pure pigments and bold, vivid colors.
“Spring Blooms” pastel, 6” x 6”
I’ve been fortunate to experience painting in numerous locations. One of my favorite places was painting at a vineyard in Tuscany, Italy. Italy brought me close to my family roots. Being surrounded by flower gardens, red geraniums, lemon trees, grapevines and food was so inspiring. I often paint scenes from that magical vineyard.
“Santa Fe” pastel, 6” x 6”
Living in New Mexico has also been inspiring. The sky is so blue, the sunsets are breathtaking, and the desert brings new inspiration.
“Joy” pastel, 5” x 7”
My artwork encapsulates the Italian spirit of hospitality, cultural richness, and the warmth of shared moments over wine, cheese, and floral art.
“It’s Show Time” pastel, 12” x 24”
La vita è bella (life is good).
