About
My work is about everyday life, the domestic space, identity, motherhood, childhood, memories and longing.
My art practice explores the mundane and originates from the female body and its existence as a mother and artist. My work is mainly autobiographical - about the process of becoming identity-less and finding myself yet again in some strange foreign place- motherhood.
I use different media to investigate these topics; drawings, photography, video, performance and installation.
Italian born I moved to London in 1998. Graduating from Central Saint Martins College in 2005 I continued to work in my home studio. I’m the founder and curator of the Desperate Artwives project - a collective of self identify women artists who are also mothers/carers. I am the co-founder of Play the Race Card project and one of the founding mothers of Maternal Journal.
I am a hypnobirthing teacher, birth and postpartum Doula and I co-chair the Maternity Voices Partnership for Chelsea & Westminster and West Middlesex Hospitals. I recently illustrated a children’s book written by Mental Health Nurse Jane Fisher exploring Maternal Mental Health.
Last but certainly not list I am the mother of three children who are the inspiration and influencer of all the work I do.
