ARTIST’S FACTS

Born in: Volterra

When: 4^th July 1981

When I started painting: in the period of adolescence when I studied at the “Istituto d’arte” (art school) in Volterra (1996-2000)

Studies / University: after the art school I tried to get into an important design school in Florence, but I unfortunately didn’t make it. It was a minor disappointment at the time, but I didn’t worry and I changed completely the direction of my studies and I enrolled in the faculty of foreign languages. Forgetting art? Of course not.

2005: one month after the university degree in German language, I moved to Bavaria (not far from Munich) where I started working for an hiking boot company.

2010: I married Johannes, my love, my friend, my colleague and even my personal motivator

Did I stop to paint? Never

Where did I paint: at home where there was enough space for the canvases and the whole painting stuff.

What I painted and what I paint now: figurative art & oil painting VS abstract art & acrylic painting

2021: wind of change! My 40^th birthday, my first personal art exhibition and the purchase of my studio.

2022: after 17 years in Germany my husband and I moved / came back to Italy. A great step into a new wonderful future! A new job, new friendships and, finally, back home to my family and to my beautiful Tuscany!

In the meanwhile: I took part in many art prices and art exhibitions in Genoa, Lecce, Livorno, Milan and Florence.
