I was born in Sydney, Australia to Italian parents. I have lived in Sydney all my life and have travelled extensively overseas. I love to discover new places and meet new people. My life ethic is to be kind and respectful to all those around me and if one impacts me positively then I should reciprocate threefold. As a child I loved to draw and I went to great lengths to illustrate my high school assignments. In 1987, I enrolled in life drawing classes at Paddington art school. This helped me to realise the beauty that is all around us, and that when one draws the human figure, one realises that all humans are beautiful on the outside, no matter what age, race, sex or shape. I came to understand that life drawing is an essential part of training to see and training to be a serious artist. Over the years I have undertaken many art courses and workshops. I have attended art school workshops and courses in Rome, Florence, Perugia, Cinque Terra Italy, Modica Sicily, Prague, New York, Bathurst and Sydney. My art making is always a step into a relaxing realm where I am conscious of my soul and it is always a continual journey of discovery. I love to delve into the genres of the portrait, the human figure, animals, still life and urban landscape. I work with diverse mediums and substrates. I enjoy working to evolve my art beyond just accurate image representation and towards a deeper narrative expressed via more abstract and representational images.
