About the instructor

Letizia’s work explores transposing connection and emotion in human relationships. Her portraits, figurative art and performances move past the superficiality of the body to emphasize how it can act as a conduit for our inner worlds. Through her work, she highlights the sensitive, intuitive and nurturing qualities of women and feminine strength.
