Ciao! I'm Francesca
I live in a small town near Milan, Italy, where the countryside—with its beautiful wildflowers and wildlife—still resists.
After earning a degree in Languages and Mass Communication, I spent a few years working as a teacher and editorial translator. I've always felt the need to express myself through art, and over time, I made art my priority and found joy in surface pattern design and illustration.
Wild, kind, and magic are my favorite words. They spark my imagination and reflect my values and inner world. Through my art, I hope to make children and grown-ups smile—and maybe inspire them to be kind, stay curious, and feel connected to nature.
We are part of nature; when we love and respect her, we are also loving and respecting ourselves.
When I’m not drawing, I enjoy birdwatching and spending time in my community garden, growing vegetables among wildflowers, bees, dragonflies, and wild rabbits. I also love wandering through botanical gardens and bookshops.
I’m committed to learning more about climate change and social justice, and I’ve joined my local climate movement. I try to live in ways that are ethical, eco-conscious, and sustainable—especially when it comes to work, food, shopping, travel, and voting.
Exploring nature slowly, wherever I am—and reading—recharges my energy and fuels my creativity.
Thanks for stopping by! :)
