About The Artist
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY into a large immigrant Italian family, I have not always been an artist. I have a PhD in philosophy from NYU and taught philosophy for many years before moving to Berkeley and working seriously in art. I began in print making and moved into oils and mixed media. I have exhibited throughout the Bay Area including the inaugural de Young Open exhibition in 2020.
Artist's Statement
Artists must be observant and opportunistic. Something unexpected happens on a canvas, and you have to see it and take advantage of it. I love the challenge of truly listening to what comes to you by chance as well as what comes to you by choice. My art hovers between reality and imagination, and it is important to me to be attentive, uncluttered, personal, and inventive in my art.
