“…that which is delicate and impermeable.” I am so excited to announced the launch of the Ethereal Collection for Clù. 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. The scarves in this line are my paintings of the insides […]
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 […]

I love color. Yes, I know it’s obvious. And no, this is not an obsession I will be losing anytime soon! Color is transformative, evocative, emotional and symbolic. Colors are what surround us constantly, imperceptibly weaving themselves into the fabric of our reality. As an artist and designer, color is central to my work. Every […]
Palm Beach, Florida was the lucky location of my winter holidays, thanks to a new family home. Besides the sea and the glorious sunshine, the contemporary art scene that the town is newly known for, magnetizes me to this corner of the world. Located a block from the Atlantic Ocean, the Brintz Gallery was founded […]
Here’s the IG Live with author Christy Strauch
When I moved from New York to Rome in 2006, a prominent Upper East Side gallerist acquaintance of mine unforgettably advised me: “Dear, let me know when you get to Berlin.” Rome is synonymous with art for sure, a city that has long inspired artists for its beauty. During an average walk here, you can […]
Rome is full of hidden gems, places that are only discovered on meandering walks, or when mentioned casually by a friend. Some of the best spots in town are the ones that are off the tourist radar, the ones that don’t show up in top search engine results. The Futurism & Co gallery is […]
