When I was in high school and the first two years in University, I was a Fine Arts major. Then by the 3rd year of 4, my parents decided that I should get a "real job" to therefore not starve trying to make a living. I am an IT software project manager, working on computers all day. After covid-19 lock-downs were lifted, I realized I needed to get in touch with my creative side, for a more balanced life. I visited a friend from So. Cal. USA where she now lives in Northern Italy early 2022. She has always had a creative side and I was excited for her success, so I started my journey again. I'm working on paper presently, while I find my voice and style, in acrylics and some watercolor.
