| 2007 update |
I am currently working with a new and exciting
medium: encaustic wax painting. It is adding a
whole new dimension and luminosity to my painting
and I believe is the perfect addition to the
color, texture and emotion that I desire to
convey in my exploration of Latin America and the
beauty that lies therein.
You can see my new work in the upcoming solo
exhibit at the ANT Gallery in Aug of 2007.
I am also currently shopping for a curator who
loves my work and is interested in helping me get
exposure in Washington State as well as various
other venues across North America and/or Latin
America.

| What's happening now... |
I have been an artist all my life. I'm sure I
always will be. School? Sure. Two years at
Cornish in the fine arts dept. and then the
tuition did me in. I learned to oil paint from
Julanne Campbell who is a local NW painter.
Wonderful artist.
In 2001, I took a mother/daughter trip with
Stella to Puerto Vallarta and thus began my 6
years and counting love affair with Mexico and
all things latin. I knew that I couldn't just
move there....yet, so I decided that I would do
the next best thing and travel there as often as
possible in order to capture images that I could
then draw inspiration from in my artwork. I have
been on at least 2 trips per year since then as
well as one winter, my family and I drove to
Puerto Vallarta in an RV and parked it on the
beach for four months. Fabulosa!!!
I focus on realism but strive for expressing
myself impressionistically and strive for the
abstract expression of realism. Boy, that was an
artsy mouthful.
My daughter Stella travels with me and thus, is
the model in much of my work. I look for the
colors, textures and local images that express
Mexico to me. A place of passion, art,
simplicity and great TACOS!!! You gotta love a
good taco stand.
I hope you enjoy my work. If you're interested in
a painting just email me at d.ita.art@gmail.com
and I can give you sizes and prices.
