The Unforgiving Yardstick
New Project: The Unforgiving Yardstick: A look at women’s roles and struggles in Westchester County
Exhibition March 2025 at the Square House Museum, Rye NY, with the support of the Rye Historical Society and a 2024 Arts Alive grant, funded by the New York State Council on the Arts through its Statewide Community Regrant program and administered by Arts Westchester.
The Swimsuits Series
The Swimsuits Series: A Pictorial Reflection on Women’s Rights was scheduled to be on display at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City in March 2025, during the 69th Commission on the Status of Women. However, due to the current social and political climate in the United States—particularly the increasing scrutiny and polarization surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives—the exhibition has been canceled.
Previously, the series was successfully exhibited at the European Union Delegation to the United Nations during the 67th Commission on the Status of Women, which focused on “Innovation and Technological Change, and Education in the Digital Age to Achieve Gender Equality and Empower All Women and Girls.”
In 2023, The Swimsuits Series received an Arts Alive grant funded by the New York State Council on the Arts through its Statewide Community Regrant program, administered by ArtsWestchester. It was also featured at the Jay Heritage Center in Rye, NY, where it was on display from October to November 2023. The opening reception was part of New York State’s Path Through History Weekend on October 7–8, 2023.
“Alice”
Series
In 2015 I started a new body of work called “Alice", in which I overlap the story of Alice in Wonderland with the History of San Francisco, Paris, Amsterdam and New York to represent the schizophrenic state of these ever changing cities. Each painting of this series tells a piece of the story about our everyday lives. In a sense Alice is you, me, anyone who lives or works in large metropolis and has to adapt or face its challenges.
“Home”
Series
“I started this series called “Home” in March 2020. Like a diary, it’s the recording of a time between hope and despair. While working on it, I realized that the social and economic crisis that followed the health crisis were also about the notion of home, but in this case, the risk of losing it. Our only shelter during the pandemic is taken away from people who need it most. This concept of "Home" is also related to the planet and the current climate change. How are we going to shape the world after this pandemic? More than any house, the planet is our home and we're slowly losing it…”
“Underwater”
Series
“Underwater” is a series of digital works created with Procreate on my iPad and printed on an aluminum panel. The metal shows through the image, giving a unique translucent luminescence to the surface and inviting the spectators to place themselves in the image, the metal surface acting as a mirror. In this series I combine old daily life photographs with images found in the news and photos taken during trips with my son to different aquariums like the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, Artis Aquarium in Amsterdam or Nausicaà in France.
