There are three parts to this exhibition

Moonscape or (Moon Over Monserrat) 2006, is an oil on canvas with mixed media and collage. This work was the turning point for my rock series.
Collaged Oil on Canvas
II: The Handmade Paper:
In the winter of 2007, in New York City, the Dieu Donne Papermill gave me the opportunity to continue my rock series by creating pigmented collaged papers. There is no paint used in these works, only pigmented paper.
Handmade Paper Collages
III. The Handmade Books:
The Handmade Books are a direct link between actual story telling, the influence of my many years of Northern Italian Renaissance collages and the Renaissance Book Boxes. All are hand-sewn and each book has 12 pages; telling the love story of Alfredo and Elizabeth.
Handmade Collaged Books
The influences from the places I have been, play a large part in the creation of my current work. I then have separated myself from the influences and go into my dreamlike states.
