Her institutional studies have been directed towards technical drawing. In fact, for many years, the architectural and interiors design, the advertising graphics and the photography, were subjects that she was able to deepen even during the work experience.
Her real passion however is art: painting, drawing, music, cinema, literature then, and has roots from an early age. This has led her to always have pencils and colors in hand, to study as a self-taught, and to experiment with various techniques first in traditional, and later also in digital.
Since 2018 she has been able to deepen other subjects dear to her such as editorial and entertainment illustration, starting with a specific annual course, inspired by the Japanese animation masterpieces of Hayao Miyazaki in the first place, and by the well-known American Disney and Pixar. In 2021 and 2022 she attended the "Ars in fabula" academy in Macerata (The Picture book Academy) in the annual entry level and advanced level courses, completing the thesis on the book project "Faeries" by Charles Perrault.
In 2020 her continuous work was rewarded with the selection for the Italy group of "The lost lighthouse" within the FabrianoinAcquarello international competition. Since then, she has participated in national and international exhibitions and competitions, obtaining recognition and prizes for her work as a watercolorist.
She loves watercolor in its contemporary and experimental forms. For my inspiration I find myself, in style, closer to realist and hyperrealist artists, but my natural curiosity and sensitivity leads me, in addition to this, also to experiment towards more impressionistic styles. All this contributes to the expressiveness in my formal research, which is still evolving.
