Artistic Approach:

I grew up in Italy visiting art museums with my mum, doing gardening with her and learning all her amazing crafting and sewing skills, immerse in the beauty of the Italian countryside, making these to become my own heritage and passions. I am a creative addicted and an unstoppable gardener.

For as far as I can remember, I have always had a pencil or brush in my hands and loved drawing on my father’s drafting machine and painting.

After travelling the world for 15 years as a professional athlete, I spent the past 5 years sailing around the world with my husband and little son, never stopping creating, mainly sewing.

In 2020 we decided to settle down in this wonderful country and I discovered watercolors: a medium which reconnects me with water and allows me to bring nature to life on paper.

My childhood and my travels are my main inspiration, nature my muse.

I paint mainly botanicals, birds and fishes and use most of my illustration to produce elegant eco-friendly stationery items which are available to purchase here
