57anni, già restauratrice, ho un marito, due figli, alcuni gatti; abito e lavoro a Vicenza.
Vivo l’arte da autodidatta, il che è al tempo stesso un limite e una fortuna: cerco di concentrarmi sulla fortuna, grata della libertà che mi è concessa.
Italian, 57 years old, I began working as a paper conservator/restorator after a 2 years professional training in a restoration school in Florence. That’s how I became familiar with my chosen material which is paper.
Only in adulthood I approached art as a self-taught artist, after twenty years of work as a book restorator.
Since I don’t have a proper artistic education my work is quite instinctive and free.
Over the years, I expanded my field of interest to investigate the possible relationship between paper and all forms of fabric. I love using paper in traditional textile techniques such as weaving, knitting basketry, crochet etc… but I have been also practicing in natural dyeing on yarn and fabrics in the need of joining and mixing different materials and textures in the context of fiber art.
I also have been working as the assistant of the international fiber artist Luciana Costa Gianello, my teacher and friend.
Since 2017 I work in my atelier in Vicenza, creating jewelry and objects with paper and textile fibers and teaching art workshops for children, adults and elder people.
