My career as an artist started in 1996 when I was asked to illustrate articles
from a national religious magazine in Italy. Through the years I developed
skills in both digital illustration and hand paint with watercolour and acrylic.
In 2002 I decided to take it further and attend a school of art and, in 2005, I
graduated as a Comics illustrator and special effects artist. Since I was always
attracted by the movie world, I decided to use my new certificate to approach
this fantastic world. I worked few years for a production company which took me
away from my Country of origin and gave me the opportunity to develop my skills
as an artist and writer. I wrote several screenplays for the big screen and
illustrated storyboards on a daily basis and here is when I started thinking
about writing and illustrating stories for children. “The first tale of Sarah”
in fact was born as an idea for a children’s movie but not developed more than a
script. In 2015 I moved in the UK and I started working on my first personal
project “The Tale of Sarah”, a three books series which I’m writing and
illustrating. The first one was published in 2017 and I’m currently working on
the second volume. My goal in sharing these stories is to share a message of
hope with readers of all ages. As an artist I keep on developing my skills every
day and trying new ways and techniques to improve my illustrations. In 2018, I
enrolled BA in Illustration at the Open College of the Arts.
