April is bringing something I’ve been quietly building toward for a long time. Inner Calligraphics opens April 16th at Studio DFB, the Rome gallery of artist Alberto Di Fabio, a friend and inspiration, and also one of Italy’s most internationally recognized contemporary artists. That his gallery is the setting for this show means a great […]
Some time ago, I was introduced to the Bach flower system, and it fascinated me. These are plants, identified by scientist Edward Bach, each one carrying a specific frequency, a remedy for disharmonious soul states. According to his system, nature had an answer for all these disturbances. While the traditional system called for tinctures, the names […]
Italian artist and friend Alberto Di Fabio has assembled a deeply personal exhibition of works by his late father, Pasquale Di Fabio, at the historic Sala 1 in Rome. This special setting is a former basilica within the Pontifical Sanctuary of the Scala Santa, next to San Giovanni Laterano, and its soaring brick arches lend […]

I’m pleased to announce a very special collaboration with Naquist: a series of private, artist-led sessions in my Rome Studio. The invitation calls you into the Studio not only as a visitor, but as a creative. These immersive sessions are an opportunity to connect with emotion, color and the act of making, surrounded by works […]
It’s no secret that I adore fashion and the Opera, two passions that collide in my Aria scarves, the bestselling line from my silk brand Clù, available at the Met Opera Shop at Lincoln Center. So imagine my excitement when Michael Kors turned The Met itself into a runway for NYFW, celebrating 45 years of […]
An irresistable invitation from the Professional Women’s Association brought me to the Capitoline Museum in heart of Piazza Vittoria in Rome to see the precious Cartier exhibition. The most powerful part wasn’t “luxury” — it was the juxtaposition. From the red-carpeted staircase lined with mirrors leading to the exhibit, the show encompassed a sense of […]
One of my passions is to see a designer’s vision expressed through the fashion lens, and I’ve written about my eye on this aspect of design in the compendium, when a particular design collection strikes me for its clarity, palette and inspiration. For me this is less about clothing and more about a cohesion of […]
My holiday in the Northeast was cosy… mostly spent in Connecticut near the fire and taking snowy walks in the nearby woods. While my jaunts to New York City were (as always) too few and far between, a few choice artist dates were enough to satisfy this time around. Quality over quantity! My first […]
Here are some top highlights from a year shaped by collaborations and exhibitions, rich with doing work I love with wonderful and inspiring people and the institutions they represent. Laudato Sie in Assisi The show of Franciscan manuscripts which premiered in 2024 at Palazzo Braschi in Rome, opened in the Museum of the Sacred Convent […]
The moment may color lovers await, has arrived: Pantone’s Color of the Year. For 2026, they’ve chosen Cloud Dancer, which is a shade of white. Despite the mission statement of their intentions behind this color, it has provoked polarizing discourses about it. To my eye, it feels like a palette cleanser, even a blank slate. […]
A quick trip up to Florence with my best friend took us to different art stops. Besides being an easy meeting point between her Umbrian City and my Rome, the big draw to Florence was seeing the Beato Angelico exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi, the first major show dedicated to this Renaissance master in Florence in […]
