"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see'' - Edgar Degas...
Based in Palm Beach, this interior finish artist and decor designer specializes in creating handmade decorative objects and elements. With over a decade of experience in the art of decorative design, she focuses on restoring and reinventing European furniture, sculpture in scagliola and Papier Mache, and creating authentic “old world” finishes utilizing traditional techniques.
Originally a construction engineer with a degree in Construction, she seamlessly integrates her technical background into her artistic endeavors, resulting in a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and creativity.
Her appreciation for antiques and vintage furnishings shines through in her work. These pieces carry a unique charm and a sense of history that modern items often lack, providing a grounding element that transforms a house into a home.
With a multicultural background—Spanish and Italian descent, born in the UK to U.S. Air Force parents—she has traveled extensively, gaining insights into colors, patterns, textures, and designs. These experiences contribute to her distinctive style, evoking a European retreat in her creations.
