About ME

Born in Kenya to Italian and German parents and raised in South Africa, my multicultural upbringing continues to shape and inspire my art. After a fulfilling career in design, I immigrated to the United States, joined a ceramics studio, and began teaching classes that encourage students to explore their imagination. The positive feedback inspired me to dive deeper into my own creativity, staying true to the vibrant colors and wildlife of Africa. After completing several commissions, I’ve expanded into new mediums and currently enjoy creating large, bold, colorful canvases. I paint to spark joy—for myself and others. Through vivid color, I hope to brighten someone’s day and bring more happiness into the world. I’m happiest when I put a smile on someone’s heart through my art.
