Gioia’s home studio is in rural Northeastern U.S., but her travels have taken her to 50 countries, enriching her perspective across various cultural and natural environments. Her academic background includes scientific studies in botany, geology, ecology, and sociology focused on the circumpolar north, combined with fine arts in printmaking and performing arts.
