Contemplating a phrase by an Italian writer I’m reading, while visions of the parrots that are filling the trees of Rome arise in my imagination

To celebrate my Romaversary, here is a Q&A about Rome’s influence on me. It’s a longer video than usual, but 20 years is a lot to squeeze into a few minutes!

What would you like to know about my life in Rome?

Getting my studio ready for @romeartweek Open Stud

Getting my studio ready for @romeartweek Open Studio… hanging paintings, framing, authenticating and deciding what goes where.

You’ll find new works plus large archival pieces, in the place where it all happens.

Come see what I’ve been up to, talk art, and have a glass with me! Bring a friend !

Rome Art Week | Open Studio
Friday, October 23
From 3-9pm

OTD 20 years ago, I took a flight from New York, starting an adventure I had no idea would take me where it did. Yes, I landed in Rome, Italy, where I remain today....but wow, the people, emotions, love, beauty, challenges, friendships, losses, discoveries and completely unexpected turns I have experienced!
I wish I could have put every one of you who has touched me, changed me, loved me, challenged me, worked with me, laughed with me, created with me, and been part of this ongoing journey into these few minutes. You know who you are!
Twenty years is impossible to fit into a little video. The adventure, btw, is still happening...

The Maps of Time and Rome is a series about experiencing a new place through the navigation of emotion and memory. Captions from a curatorial essay by Camilla Pigato.
Using Nolli’s 18th-century map of Rome, I layered acrylic, paper and printed graphics onto wood. Peeling walls, fragments of signage and layered textures inspire me.
This work Centro Gold will be exhibited in Prati this Saturday, October 17 along with 2 others. Come see!

Rome is a city where I have been lost and found many times. The Maps of Time and Rome is a series born from my experience of discovering Rome, not through conventional navigation, but through experiences and emotions.
Using Nolli’s 18th-century map of Rome, I layered acrylic paint and paper onto wood. Peeling walls, fragments and sweeps of color.
Each work is an emotional landscape: the mystery and sensuality of Rome, a navigation through time.
Three works from the series - Centro Pink, Roman Night and Centro Gold - will be exhibited in Prati this Saturday, October 17.

Ovid’s Metamorphosis has inspired many artists (see the show at Villa Borghese!) – including me. This is the one about Persephone.
If you’re interested in this piece, DM me or comment “Spring”

This work was created in layers: on a wooden canva

This work was created in layers: on a wooden canvas, paper and printed images, flowers, marks in acrylic and Ovid’s phrase “perpetuum ver est” enclosed in the strata.
The myth of Persephone is behind the emotions here, the daughter archetype who becomes a queen through confronting the darkness and her own suffering.
If this painting speaks to you, DM me or comment “PERSEPHONE” and I’ll send you more information.

Writing with ink or pigment on paper gets my hand

Writing with ink or pigment on paper gets my hand moving. I discover phrases and happen upon words that stand out and want to be painted.
Here, the poetry of Ovid is the subject, taking lines from the Metamorphoses. In my painting series on the subject, each painting emerged from a single phrase describing one of the mythical goddesses: Persephone, Athena and Hera.
The Ovid series is currently available to view in my Prati studio by appointment, as are my works on paper. Comment STUDIO and I will DM to organize a visit

Meet Spring Perpetuum Est.
She is part of the Ovid series, in which each work represents a mythical goddess. This one is all about Persephone, the archetype of the daughter who becomes queen through confronting the underworld, her own shadow.
While the Metamorphosis show is happening at Villa Borghese, these works can be seen in my Prati studio by appointment
Paper, acrylic and ink on wood.
110 x 155 cm.
If this piece speaks to you, DM me or comment “Persephone” and I’ll send you the details.

With Ovid: Metamorphoses showing at the Galleria B

With Ovid: Metamorphoses showing at the Galleria Borghese, I’m returning to my series made around the mythical.
This is “Spring Perpetuum Est”, about the goddess Persephone. It is paper, acrylic and ink on wood.
Ovid wrote perpetuum ver est: it is perpetual spring. The archetype of Persephone has always fascinated me. She is the daughter, impressionable and tied to her mother. To become the queen, she must confront the underworld, symbolizing her darkness and the masculine.
I painted this work inside that tension, between the pinks and decorative beauty of spring and the darker transformation underneath it.

If this piece speaks to you, DM me or comment “Persephone” and I’ll send you more details.

Show in progress !
My mini triptych began with something that fascinated me: a scientific exploration of consciousness in which three distinct spheres appeared in hypnotic states, forms that, when integrated, became a powerful unified awareness.
I made “Coscienza (pre-memory)” to externalize these archetypal colors which are associated with the soul, mind and spirit, small because they are a sketch for a larger work.
The piece is now part of the TINY BIENNALE at Temple University Gallery, Rome, beautifully curated by Shara Wasserman. All artworks are under 21cm. Through October 15.

… and thank you @giusi_stylecoach for your beautiful IG story on the experience ! 😍
