Moth Series
The Moth Series is a collection of art that is based on the colors, textures and form of a moth. Some of them are strictly abstract and some of them take the form of the moth. These paintings are highly unique and one of a kind. I am just enamored with these colors and textures and have always been drawn to them. I am also drawn to the process of metamorphosis and its relationship to mankind.
La Semplicità Collection
This collection embodies the Italian phrase "La Semplicità è l’Ultima Sofisticazione" which means Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. A kind of less is more idea that in life and in art for me, simplicity is the goal. When I am creating art, I truly want my collectors to feel the joy and the peace that comes from a single color attached to a fond memory or a powerful emotion. Its the feeling of the ocean upon gazing at the color blue or your grandmas signature color sweater or the color of your wedding flowers. It is the way I most love to enjoy and experience art in my own home .
