She began her own company Littlebrook Cultural Management Inc., founded and ran an international summer art school, ARTVENETO (accredited by the University of Denver at Colorado and supported by the regional government at Feltre, Italy). Plus, she created a sister-city-ship between Golden, Colorado and Feltre, N. Italy.
Her passion for food and culture got more scientific when, as Director of Marketing & Communications for a multi-national BioPharma company, she launched a natural remedy to the wine, beer and cheese market of America. Then, when her children launched from the nest, she continued investigations of the palette, both at the easel and in VIP kitchens, deepening her understanding of health and food by getting certified as a Nutritionist.
