Bio

I am a sustainable artist based in Columbia, South Carolina, with a lifelong passion for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Born to an Italian father and an American mother, I spent my childhood in northern Italy, where my creativity was recognized early through numerous prizes and awards in school art competitions. In 1979, I brought my Italian roots and creative spirit to the United States, making it my home.

For me, art begins where the rules end.

I love the freedom of creating from unexpected, discarded, and often overlooked objects. I am not bound to a particular medium, technique, or set of parameters. In fact, I enjoy breaking those boundaries—mixing materials, textures, shapes, and ideas in ways that might not seem to belong together at first.

I call it creative cross-breeding.

A single discarded object can be interesting. Multiply it dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times, and something entirely unexpected can emerge. What was once disposable becomes dimensional, thought-provoking, and sometimes even awe-inspiring.

My work is an exploration of possibility—a reminder that beauty can be found in the most unlikely places. I take what others might overlook and give it a new life, a new purpose, and a new story.

I don’t just make art from materials. I make possibilities from what others leave behind.
