Sensuous and serene, the images of Valentina Ruggiero speak in whispers of other worlds dreamed of. Delicate and velvety, her work is at once seductive, mysterious and remote.

MoonGardenArt is a reflection of what may be found in her work – recurring themes of symmetry and roundness share the mystery and roundness of a full moon, gardens and oceans are offerings from nature with its inexplicable beauty.
