ResidenceOak Harbor, WA, USA Place of BirthModena, , Italy Personal StatementMy work is primarily mixed media drawings on paper and site specific installations that I create with drawings, found objects, photographs and natural material. They reflect my fascination with nature, the human body and language. In particular, I am interested in the way we relate to the natural world and other human beings. BiographyBorn in northern Italy, I have lived in several European countries and India. In May 2004 I settled in Washington State after working in the field of forest archaeology as a Cultural Resource Technician at the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This experience gave me the opportunity to learn about the fascinating human and natural history of the Pacific Northwest and helped me to develop my work further.
