Studio Studies
This triptych was inspired by the view out my studio window on Monte Morello, just above Florence.
Working with my handmade watercolors, monoprint collage, metallic pieces and raw pgments on Arches watercolor paper, I explored the quiet rhythm between land and sky— simplifying the landscape into gesture, color, and movement.
The three panels are designed to be displayed together as a triptych, allowing the composition to breathe across the space between them.
Minimal yet vibrant, the work reflects the changing light and energy of the Tuscan hillside.

Water, paper, ink -
since 1973.
I’ve been in conversation with these materials for as long as I can remember —
drawn to water, pigment, and paper with a kind of devotion that has only deepened with time.
This isn’t a trend for me. It’s a life practice.
My process
Embracing new forms and color palettes.
Experimenting with materials and tools.
Sitting with pieces until we’re friends.
Follow my journey.
