I take so much inspiration and joy from Italian history and culture.

My degree is in art history with an emphasis on the Italian Renaissance. My mom's family is Italian (her grandparents were born in Italy). I’ve always talked about going back to visit my roots, both in Italy and Greece. Because of this, my trip was literally a dream come true.

I wish I could bottle Italy up and carry it with me when I'm feeling uninspired with my own paintings, but I guess these videos are as close to that as I can get.

If you’re an art appreciator or an avid traveler, I hope these can offer you some form of beauty and escape as we continue with quarantine.

I hope this finds you safe and healthy. Enjoy!
