I have been painting and drawing from as far back as I can remember. As a small child you would never catch me without a pencil and paper.
I was born in Tivoli in Italy and was fortunate enough to grow up in small Italian villages in the mountains and valleys of Abruzzo and its surrounding areas.
My environment very much inspired me as an artist and would be replicated in my art work.
At the age of 13 I moved back to England with my family. After leaving school I then studied and completed Art and Design at an Oxford colleage. Shortly after my studies I moved back to Rome and worked as a designer for a very well known design company whilst still painting for pleasure in my spare time.
During this time in Italy I married and had children, it saddens me to say this but painting took a back seat for the next 10 years as I concentrated on raising my 2 children. My life then took a turn and I found myself newly single and shortly after fell in love again. It was this new love in my life that inspired me to pick up my paintbrush after such a long hiatus. Now all of my paintings take inspiration from the life I so much enjoy, the places that I have visited, the people that I love and the dreams that I dream.
