The Videos
Born and raised in Western Pennsylvania, growing up among the children and grandchildren of immigrants who worked in steel mills and related industries, never once did I suspect I would become an artist. Somehow, I found the courage to follow a call I truly did not comprehend.
I rely on beauty and the art of seeing. Art-making is my means of exploring, questioning and reinterpreting the way that we perceive our world and is a reflection of my ongoing personal search for meaning and understanding.
My artworks have been internationally exhibited and published, and are in the collections of such fine institutions as the Victorian and Albert Museum in London, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the George Eastman House, the Santa Barbara Museum, the Musee de Photographie in Charleroi, Belgium and the Lianzhou Museum in Lianzhou, China. I have an MFA from Stanford University and have taught courses and workshops in both the United States and Europe. I am a dual U.S. / Italian citizen and currently live between Pittsburgh, PA and the San Francisco Bay Area.
