I started to become interested in art as a younger child, before I went to high school. I appreciated cartoons and fantasy stories for their creativity and interesting characters, and started trying to draw some of my own.
In high school I took art classes to help me learn more about foundational skills, even though as a young student it didn’t always feel interesting or useful – I just wanted to draw fantasy characters! As I grew up and connected with my Italian cultural heritage though, I started becoming more interested in traditional painting, sculpture and architecture. Appreciating the incredible master works of art helped inspire me to learn to paint beautifully using traditional techniques. I continued my arts education and training in Capilano University’s Illustration and Design program, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This was an important step in preparing me with skills and abilities to render my creative ideas.
