Artist Statement:
............ a journey in
which each image tells a story
through colors and shapes and
tones of gray; a journal of
sensations and feelings
through the path of natural
environments; a tribute to the
vision of Earth and the beauty
of her elements.
What I intend to create is not
an image descriptive of a
specific place, rather, an
abstract image depicting a
specific feeling that place
emanates.
Using the camera like a brush
to make the subjects move on a
flat sheet of photographic
paper, I celebrate a moment in
which life is an instant in
light, a moment in time. That
moment is a glimpse of
fascinating beauty drawing the
fragile line of our existence.

At the age of 26 she decided to move to USA to broaden her professional and technical knowledge. Since then she as been working in editorial, advertising, web-sites and fine art.
In 1998 La Grassa started to working in PR for a photography gallery in New York. Six months later she became director of the same gallery until 2000.
