live and work in Rhode Island USA. I spent the midyears
ofmy career creating art-related businesses. While still
living in Massachusetts, I opened and ran the Springfield
Arts Center. After moving to Rhode Island, I opened a very
successful business Casanna Design, featuring my own line of
jewelry. My next stop was as an interior decorator, establishing a
permanent art gallery located within a high-end furniture store.

In 2009 I left the applied Arts to return to my own personal Artwork.
I have established myself within the arts community showing my work
widely both nationally and internationally.
Behind The Mask
People wear many masks for many reasons. It is the turmoil that lies
just behind the image that intrigues me.
Growing up in a middle class American neighborhood in the 1950’s,
life looked like the perfect Norman Rockwell painting. The Saturday
Evening Post came to our home regularly, and those images remain a
strong influence in my work. The imagery Rockwell portrayed was the
life we all tried to lead.
Since childhood, people have chosen to confide in me their stories
and struggles; often these personal reflections did not match the public
image they shared.
Is my work edgy?
Perhaps it’s a bit more about discomfort, or being uncomfortable by what
you’re looking at?  This edginess is mostly found in her private vignettes.
