La Macina di San Cresci

“Artists are interesting creatures. We can be obsessive, dedicated, spirited and single minded in our pursuit for that perfect realisation of our art. We tend to be outsiders and are often that square peg in the round hole, so when you find an oasis like San Cresci you hold on tight -- for it’s that sense of belonging which welcomes you.”

I am a visual artist with specialization in Painting, Ceramics, and Jewelry making. I began studying art at a young age, after completing Highschool, I went on to study Ceramics and Creative Writing at University. I expanded my knowledge of fine arts in Miami Fl where I studied Photography. In 2005 I moved to Barcelona to enroll in the Interior Design program at the European Institute of Design. I developed an interest in Chinese Medicine and moved to Australia to study Acupuncture in 2006. I graduated from Tibet University in 2018 with a certificate in Tibetan Language, which was taught in Mandarin. During my stay in Lhasa, I underwent training in traditional Buddhist thangka painting at Dan Ba Rao Dan Thangka Institute. Asian themes and languages are very influential in my work.
I lived abroad for 15 years, during my years of travel I was immersed in many different cultures and always tried to learn as much of the local language as I could.
In total, lived in approximately 30 countries, these experiences have shaped my artistic work and also my character.
