Bio

I am an Italian lady, living near Torino, the North-west side of Italy.

I studied as a geometry surveyor (a little less than an architect), after I ended my studies I worked for 15 years in the computer aided design in different important factory here in Italy.

Due to my 2 young sons I decided to stop working and I started to develop my passion for watercolors.

In the first years , being a self-taught painter, I had not much possibility to develop my real talent.

Now that my sons are older I can spend more time with paints and brushes, putting all my artistic passion in my art-work .

Since 2 years I'm a student at my local University in a watercolour course under the supervision of a famous painter.

Painting has been in my blood since ever also if it’s been a dream for a long time.

I bring my camera always with me as to be able to stop in any moment and take inspiration from any subject I meet.

People, landscapes, still-life, little animals everything is a good subject that I can translate onto the paper.

The Macchiaioli (realism) and the great Impressionist's painters are my favourite masters, but I appreciate many different kind of painting’s styles.

Normally I paint in medium sizes, but creating ACEOs (2.5x3.5 inches) made me appreciate how even more complicated it is to achieve accuracy in a smaller format, but I do enjoy it and it's so much easier for me to ship this size to my buyers all over the world!

Thank you for your time and interest in my work :-)
