These are my paintings.

These are of Tropea, Italy – the historical center, the cliffside, the hillside. I am currently using the originals for research and study, but you may purchase prints and other items via my INPRNT account.

Memorial of a Fall (Commemorazione di un Crollo), 2024

This set of paintings—Crollo I, II, and III—is a triptych depicting the landfall of the Santuario di Santa Maria dell’Isola in Tropea before the April 7 collapse, the day after the collapse, and a few days later after a second collapse. The set is a memorial, a marker in the sand, a historical record of a changing climate and changing geological structures—structures that were once foundations of our landscapes. Landscapes that have now become dreamscapes. This exhibit also included a series of monoprint studies of the three paintings. They are acrylic on canvas. Link to the exhibit page here.

Quadrante Solare (Sun Dial), 2023

This series studies the shadow of this tree across this facade of this church (in Largo Gesuiti, Tropea). It’s called “quadrante solare,” or “sun dial.” It follows the movement of the sun, across the sky, throughout the year and throughout the day. These are mixed media of oil and ink.

Calabrese Tiles/Piastrelle della Calabria, 2023

These “Calabrese Tiles/Piastrelle della Calabria” were created for a Tropean bar, dal barONE and are inspired by the tiles of Calabria – the history and style of the colorful, handcrafted tiles that were made and used throughout Calabria’s rich history, especially during the years when Calabria (including Tropea) was an important part of the Kingdom of Naples and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Link to the exhibit page here.

Cipolla Rossa di Tropea, 2020

The Cipolla Rossa, or red onion of Tropea is famous. When I moved here to begin painting, I decided to start with painting the onions. It made as much sense as any other decision I had made in my life up until that point.
