Cielo Velato Assisi, Italy
Viewing the 13th century frescoes within the churches of Assisi, Siena, and Florence, and reading on the life of Saint Francis and St Clare, my artwork began to take on greater spiritual meaning, as the Cielo Velato (vieled sky), became thinner. The clouds begin to take on celestial imagery, still life works began to speak of a communal plate, and the narrative of St. Francis and St. Clare opened my artistic hand to a new expression of painting.
