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 […]
Journaling has long been a practice of mine. I’ve filled sketchbooks, collaged diaries, hand-bound notebooks, abstract books – the book becomes the container allowing me to move freely between writing, collaging and painting. There’s something endlessly inviting about a blank journal, that wide-open space of possibilities, contained in a special volume. For a recent Rome […]
The Iconics series was always meant to live in light. Printed on acrylic or glass, these pieces were designed to reflect their surroundings: subtle, luminous, and shifting throughout the day. They’re most at home in spaces where light can move across them: near a window, under a skylight, or anywhere the atmosphere changes with the […]
For the first time since joining Rome Art Week, my Studio doors opened to the public. From noon onward, the usually-tranquil Studio was flowing with friends and acquaintances. From 6pm started the cocktail party, and the room became very animated with lots of chats and reunions. During this special day, visitors had a chance to […]
Fashion Week provides me with a font of inspiration. This season, two collections captured my eye: Bottega Veneta (the feathers!) and Prada for the color. Set against a luminous orange flooring, the collection of oversized dresses and poof or pleated skirts, long gloves and aberrant trenches, was not my main focus. Instead, I was bewitched […]
It’s no accident that the number one comment I receive when people step into my Studio is – “I am so inspired.” For me, that’s where the work really begins. Inspiration is vital, but what I love most is helping people see their vision concretized, realized in a form that is visible and recognizable to […]
Dr. Gabriele Indice is a rare voice in the world of health: grounded, soulful, and entirely original. Years ago, our paths crossed when he helped me restore my physical health through an approach so distinctive I found myself calling it “the Indice way.” The name stayed, and so did my admiration for his work. I […]
The small Sardinian town where I spent some weeks housesitting for a friend gave me endless inspiration. Even its name lent itself to my imagination, derived from the word “silk”. I set up an ad hoc studio in the house, permitting me to spend time with mark making, color and new techniques to expand my […]
On the Southwestern edge of Sardinia, in the quiet geometry of a small town museum, the MACC di Calasetta, I encountered the work of Zehra Doğan: art born in confinement. With unhurried time to absorb the work, I eagerly read the story of this passionate artist. Imprisoned for her beliefs in a culture that does […]
