Passionate about capturing life’s details since 1979, I began exploring photography with my first shot, specializing in pet photography and event reportage. Additionally, I illustrate children’s books, collaborating with emerging authors in self-publishing. I was born in Bondeno (FE) on December 8, 1971, and currently live in Alta Val Tidone (PC) with my husband, daughter, three dogs, a cat, and several aquariums. My illustrative style is distinctive, characterized by vibrant colors and dreamlike atmospheres, which I apply to children’s book illustration and editorial projects. I have published a children’s book series adopted by the Municipality of Alta Val Tidone for civic education and exhibited artwork in various exhibitions, focusing on environmental and social themes.
