I’m a self taught artist with some higher education in Fine Art. I’m Italian & English and currently based in the UK. I work full time in Admin and spend most evenings painting.
Art has and has always had a large place in my life. From visiting museums and spending time trying to recreate old master paintings, I study and read about various art movements.
