Bio

I am a sustainable artist residing in Columbia, SC. Born of an Italian father and an American mother, I was raised in northern Italy where my work won numerous prizes and awards in school competitions. I made the United States my home in 1979.

I love the freedom of creating what I want from random objects. I am held to no parameters, I am sold to no particular media, I like them all and love to cross breed them. This allows me to create many fun pieces and allows me the ability to awe the viewer with a piece of disposed material that is turned into something so interesting when multiplied exponentially.

My work has been seen in numerous exhibitions in South Carolina and beyond. Selected exhibitions include (2024) - 135th Anniversary Year of NAWA,  Hollis Taggart Gallery, New York; (2023) - 701 CCA South Carolina Biennial, Columbia, SC; (2024-25) Shanghai International Paper Art Biennial, Guangzhou, China; Piccolo Spoleto Art Exhibition, Charleston, SC; 36th Annual McNeese National Works on Paper,  McNeese State University, Lake Charles, LA; 2022 -  Series Artists 2022-2023, Camelback Gallery; 2020 Tiny But Mighty - D’Art Center, Norfolk, VA; 2019 - The Supper Table (traveling exhibition); I was invited to be a part of the Creative group to represent Charlotte in their Art Campaign for the Levine Center for the Arts (2016); the ad was a tv spot and printed campaign.
