Mos Maiorum, The Way of The Ancestors, is a series of artworks honoring and capturing the history of my ancestors in Italy. I recently traveled throughout Italy in 2017 and 2019, visiting my family, ancestral homes, castles, and museums. With each new place I discovered, I was overwhelmed with emotion, whether it was the ruins of the San Salvatore church in Pianella, or when I saw the beautiful landscape of Sicily for the first time. The richness of the culture, history, and spirituality of Italy going back to Ancient Roman times has touched my core in a way that I cannot explain. I was enchanted by the stories that Italy had to share with me as if I was under her magical spell. As I walked throughout Italy, I felt more alive than I ever had in my life. It was as if all of my senses had been awakened for the first time, breathing the air of my ancestral home. With this series, I share these stories, memories, and history with you . . .
