I am blessed to have been born and raised in a magical place like Santa Fe, New Mexico. As a seventh generation Santa Fean, I carry on the work of my Italian and Native American ancestors who helped shape this beautiful city. These early Italian stonemasons built the cathedrals and contributed to the architecture of this area of the country. In this community, I am also surrounded by family and a strong group of artists, as well as the wonder of the beauty of this land. My love for the outdoors has been the primary inspiration for my art by watching Mother Nature at work in terms of constant change and evolution arising from both subtle and unimaginable forces. By studying the natural world during my various outdoor activities, I then envision my sculptures coming into being.
