My Journey

My journey as an artist has always been rooted in passion, resilience, and connection. I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember. As a child, art was my escape, my way of expressing what I didn’t yet have the words for. By my early teens, I was experimenting with painting, and at 19, I felt myself fully commit to the craft. I fell in love with storytelling through imagery, blending emotion with the techniques of the old masters I admired so deeply.

Today, I’m a mother of two beauties, a musician, and an artist who lives in the space where the classical meets the contemporary. My connection to music is woven into everything I create—I’ve been playing drums and guitar for over 20 years, and the rhythm, emotion, and raw truth of sound continually inspire me. I paint people whose songs, ideas, spirits, or energies move me. Each piece tells a story, capturing my subjects with depth, atmosphere, and the emotional honesty that reflects my own experiences.

My work has been featured in places that still feel like dreams—Disney Springs’ House of Blues, the Epcot International Art Festival, and exhibitions that have allowed me to connect with people from all over the world. Beyond creating, I share my love for art through Fiorentino Atelier, where I teach workshops that bring classical techniques to artists of all levels. From master studies inspired by Caravaggio and Bouguereau to full figurative and contemporary courses, I’m passionate about making the old traditions accessible, inspiring, and exciting.

From my studio in Florida, I paint, teach, and pour my heart into everything I do. My greatest joy is creating work that resonates with people—pieces that make them feel seen, understood, or inspired. Art is the thread that ties together every part of my life, and I’m grateful every day to share that with the world.

My Mission

At the heart of my work is a desire to connect—deeply and authentically—with people, stories, and the underlying rhythms of life. I’m a devoted mother to two amazing children who inspire me daily and remind me why creating beauty and meaning in the world matters.

Art has always been my lifeline. It helped me navigate the hardest parts of life and celebrate the most meaningful ones. By my early teens, I was already experimenting with painting, and by 19, I knew without a doubt that art was my calling. Every brushstroke since has been part of the journey that shaped me.

Music continues to be one of my greatest influences. As a self-taught drummer and guitarist of over 20 years, I understand emotion through sound—and I bring that rhythm into my paintings. I’m drawn to paint individuals whose spirits resonate with me: musicians, visionaries, rebels, storytellers, and souls who carry a certain truth. Bringing their essence to life on canvas is one of my greatest honors.

In my Atelier & Art Studio, I pour that same love into teaching. My workshops honor the traditions of classical art while giving artists the tools to find their own voice. Whether I’m guiding someone through a Caravaggio master study or helping them build an original composition from scratch, my goal is always to empower, inspire, and connect.

To me, art is more than a craft—it’s connection, healing, storytelling, and legacy. It’s how I leave something meaningful behind. Through every painting, workshop, and shared moment, I hope to create bridges between people, stories, and emotions, offering beauty and inspiration that lasts long after the paint has dried.
