I teach youth and adult art classes and workshops in different media at this awesome independant Art Center in Guilford, CT. Visit their changing gallery shows and lovely gallery shop for handcrafted gift items.

Artist Statement I cannot remember a time that I didn’t create art. From my very earliest memories I used crayon, paint, paper, fabric and any available material to create art and express narrative. I am a multi-media artist and work in paint, clay and metals. In paint I combine layers of paint, paper, mediums and drawing materials to create contrasts and luminous subtleties. I refer to the human figure, animals, birds, fauna and all natural organic forms. In general common themes are carried through all of my work in all mediums and working with different materials keeps my creativity flowing. My work is also influenced by my Italian American immigrant background and the work of my Grandmothers who were both fiber artists. The delicate and deeply textural aspect of their lacemaking and fiber work is mirrored in my own. My work combines this strong sense of historical past with abstracted imagery and the ethereal.Teaching StatementI am full time teaching artist. I am passionate about art and the process of creativity. My greatest desire is to help others by giving them knowledge, encouragement and the necessary tools they need for success. No matter which medium I am teaching; I always encourage each person to practice and develop new skills while moving towards individual interpretation and deepening creative thinking.
