I was born in Sondrio, a northern city of Italy. I went to high school in Sondrio then university in Milano. I have a bachelor degree in education and in fine arts. I taught high school for seven years and at the same time I studied drawing and painting with Prof. Livio Benetti and Prof. Renzo Sala. In 1967 my husband and I decided to explore other possibilities and we came to Canada, first to Winnipeg, then Calgary, the foot hills and Edmonton. All through this time I never put my pencils or brushes away. Painting and drawing have been my passion since I can remember. I taught art in Lamont, Alberta for ten years to both adults and children and I helped as a director to establish the Lamont Arts Council. I have had several shows of my work in Fort Saskatchewan, Saint Albert, and Victoria. My paintings are in Germany, Italy, naturally, France and New York. Now I live with my husband on a farm north of Andrew where I have my studio and I teach workshops and classes. Life is a fantastic experience for me and there is nothing better than art to help me understand a small part of this amazing world we live in. I would like to share my enthusiasm and pleasure with my students.I was born in Sondrio, a northern city of Italy. I went to high school in Sondrio then university in Milano.
