Summary

I am a professional artist and paint mythological and allegorical figures in oil and acrylic. I exhibit internationally, am published in two books, and have marketed my artwork online successfully through my website and Ebay since 2005. My web design skills include content development and organization, pixel–based image editing and optimization, vector–based illustration, and the authoring of dynamic and interactive media. I also design promotional materials for print, most recently for the Synesthesia conference, UCLA, Los Angeles. My work experience includes freelance design, office administration, retail, and picture framing. I am familiar with Academia, the Arts, and Non-profit sectors. I am fluent in Italian, with moderate French and German.
