Notes from captivity.  Scottsdale, Arizona.

We are in a moment where it is necessary to think a little more profoundly.  To believe in the magic that we make.  To be the light in someone’s life.  To put a splash of color on the grey landscape.  We artists, already, spend most of our time over-dramatizing.  We, by nature, seek to feel more so that we can create every day.  We see we listen, and we hear singularly.  We push the limits.  The shutdown has simply magnified our natural instincts.  So, after the fear and anxiety pass, you sit, you smile and then you paint.

Paint and poetry are intimately entangled for me.  My work comes from my writing.  I often write in Italian to find a rhythm to my abstract ideas.  That flow then transforms as I paint.  I search for a rhythm inside the colors, a poetic adventure of textures and shades.  My paintings are what my soul needs to express.  My poetic thoughts become vivid colors and textures.  I paint with unconventional slashes and scratches, and my poetic noise is embedded in strokes across my canvases.  My interpretations of nature, life, and emotions.

        Art is not just what I do, it is who I am.  I believe that every journey begins with a childlike leap into the joyful noise that makes each one of us a unique individual.  I have written and painted all my life.  Whether painting or poetry, I find my spirit and strength are energized by the environment and emotions that surround me.  I listen to my symphony and then I begin the journey to discover my joyful noise.

Into the Blue 2019

Beautiful things from 2019.

Into The Blue

I come to this place
deep within my soul
embracing tomorrow as she comes
leaning into the blustering winds
of this life
saturated in her warmth
an explosion of temptations unleashed
unbreakable my leap of faith
exploration into the layers of tomorrow
light breaking through the darkness
rolling waves crashing silently
courageous adventures of color and light
quietude inside the noise
willful surrender into the deep
laughter and tears of this journey
sunshine and sunsets
lines of paint
rustling across the canvas
mountain peaks beneath the roaring ocean
life upside down and inside out
vibrant seasons triumphs and sunsets
learning, accepting creating rituals
laughter, joy and pain braided into one
immersed in her dignity and grace
journeying through the colors of her seasons
I have come home
