I draw, paint and make illustrations since I remember. After my graduation at the Art High School of Lucca, I started looking for my creative dimension and I attended an illustration course with Antonella Canavese and basically she made me what I am today.
I experienced several art techniques and I found in watercolor the one that makes me feel gratified the most. When I lay the watercolour on the page and let it free to move and to mix with other colours on the paper, well… I feel there is something magical behind it. Besides watercolour I like using digital techniques, too. I use them mainly to create collages to eke my illustrations.
In my heart there’s a soft spot for animals. I do devote a lot of my work to animals and animal rights issues.
I love my dog Duccio who inspired me the drawing of the wolf in my personal vision of the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood. I also love sitting on the rocks in front of the sea, eating spicy food, and squeezing shaggy “mangy” dogs… especially those with white eyebrows and moustaches.
