Letting The Light In
Drawn in shades of pink pencil, this street view of an archway in Venice Italy has been cut up and collaged to show bricks crumbling away. Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, this piece of quarantine art is a reflection of the global pandemic which has created so much destruction but also shed light on a lot of good.

Like Nonni's Tablecloths
A little Italian kitchen. With the window open, church bells can be heard as if they're next door. Pots and pans clanging in an apartment nearby and chatter from the neighbors fill the air. The floral patterned vinyl tablecloth reminds me of my nonna and I like to imagine every grandmother nearby has a similar one that is always a bit sticky and gets swapped out as seasonal decor.
The original photograph was taken in my old apartment in Venice Italy. Using it for my collage, I cut it up, painted on top, and then used the collage to create this risograph print.

About Risograph printing: Risograph is a process similar to screenprinting, where an image is exposed onto a screen which allows it to be printed using soy-based ink onto paper. This process allows for more detail to come through, making photorealistic printing more achievable than with screenprinting.
Bedroom Windows
This print began as a photograph taken in Venice Italy, through a bedroom window that looked out onto a sea of other homes. The photo was cut up and collaged, removing and repositioning one brick at a time. The collage was then printed in a limited edition of 10 prints.

Oregano
Watching these leaves float down, they do a little dance, filling the air with what looks like a sprinkle of oregano falling into a pan.
In a sea of overlapping terracotta roofs, and wedged between a neighboring wall, this little bush has grown. How it's thrived with so little ground to stand on is an admirable feat.

Kitchen Window
A monotype of an open kitchen window letting a bit of nature inside. The original photograph was taken in my old apartment in Venice Italy. Using it for my collage, I cut it up and then used the collage to create the teal layer risograph print which I then screenprinted blue and red foliage on top.

Chilling Desert Air
Inspired by a little place in the middle of no where, where time feels frozen in a serene sort of way. The air is still, but not quite empty. Feels like you've been here before... maybe in a dream.
