About
I am a classically trained oil painter. I graduated from Studio Incamminati and currently teach there.
I have taught students one - on - one in my studio for two years now.
I taught ESL, art, reading and writing to pre-school as well as afterschool 1st - 4th grade in S.Korea.
I speak Italian!
My passion is to celebrate the beauty I see everywhere, and give voice to it through painting and drawing. I feel very fortunate to have been born into the world with this talent to draw and paint and I want to share it with as many people as possible! Especially children, our future caretakers.
