New York City, my original hometown, is the apex of blended cultures and styles, a hub of inspiration and influence. My annual visits are packed with artist dates and long walks to stock my imagination up with new visuals and concepts. A hidden gem magnetized me with its current show: The Clamor of the Ornament […]
As a multifaceted artist and entrepreneur, I am constantly on the lookout for fellow entrepreneurial spirits who share their creativity and knowledge with the world, enlightening others along the way.

Designing and developing websites for creatives is among of my favorite types of work. Besides getting to collaborate with such amazing talents, it gives me immense pleasure to help put more beautiful and inspired work into the world through their website development.

Acquiring a piece of art is an intimate and unique experience. Every person is drawn to something different, something tailored to their own interests. I always love to see what speaks to my clients, what colors and themes resonate with their spirit. When selections from Iconics were showcased at the Margutta Gallery – it was […]

Living with a photographer has made me an unlikely student of street photography – and also a fan. One of the names that appears throughout our bookshelves and has been part of lots of conversations around our table is that of Daidō Moriyama (森山 大道) . Of course, Mauro and I had to go see […]
Baroque painting has always spoken to me. It’s lush, maximalist, it’s decadently rich with color and movement. Me and the Baroque also “have history” together. When I studied at Mount Holyoke, my introduction to the world of Art History was through the Baroque & Rococo course taught by Prof. Variano. This inspired my major and […]
I stepped into an incredible combination of fractals and sparkles at the limited time exhibition “Riflessi di Donna” (Reflections of Woman) at BVLGARI, Rome.

This collection is about the line between worlds and where they meet, it is about the things that are light, and that which inspires light.

Stepping into Pompeii, I was transported. I was far from the world of today, but immersed into the world of the ancient Romans. Color stained remnants, streets of stone, proud, unbroken columns – all with purple Vesuvius silently etched into the backdrop. However, despite being transported into an ancient past, I found inspiring reminders of […]
Elegant, timeless, essential – these are three words that come to mind when I think about silk scarves. Scarves have a story that starts in my childhood. From my personal life, to the growth of my own style, to the present in my professional life as an artist and designer. My earliest memories of scarves […]
There’s something pink in the air. Literally, it’s the cherry blossoms outside my Studio window, these ephemeral blooms that reach their apex in early March. But there’s something else: a creative energy is populating the world with pink. Perhaps the most global is the recent Fall Winter 2022/2023 Valentino show at the recent Paris Fashion […]
