As you might have noticed, I haven’t posted anyt As you might have noticed, I haven’t posted anything for a few weeks. Truth is I haven’t been very well. And although I haven’t fully recovered yet, I can certainly say the worst part is behind me.

A few good things happened while I was sick though. One of them is that I created these simple watercolour lemons. It may look like nothing to you but I feel so proud of myself! It took me so much courage but I sat at my desk and did it!

What is the one thing you thought you couldn’t do and then you proved yourself wrong by doing it?

Today I want to share with you Part 1 of some of t Today I want to share with you Part 1 of some of the books that are helping me shape my brand and business as an artist and that I think you'll like. 😍

These books are brand/business specific, so they are not very artsy but I think a lot of concepts written in these books can still be relevant to us designers. ☺️

On my blog you'll also find an article that explains why I loved each one of them. ➡️ Link in my bio!

Was this helpful? Let me know in the comments with a 📚 and share your favourite business model books if you want.

I am off on holiday for Christmas, spending valuab I am off on holiday for Christmas, spending valuable time with my family in Italy. 

I am going to be honest: it’s difficult to completely switch off when you run your own business. So, while I am creating these funny videos, I am also working in the background on lots of new projects. The first one being Valentine’s Day cards, one of which you can get a glimpse of in this reel. 🥰

To my fellow artists: how do you balance work and time off?

Fall in love with your work and it will never feel Fall in love with your work and it will never feel like a job 🥰 

Yesterday I was talking to my best friend and accountability partner @thedandelionart about my next steps and she helped me so much! (Thank you tata! ❤️) She reminded me the importance of doing what I love and not give up, even if it’s not going how I hoped it would.

So let’s keep pushing and let’s not forget the importance of loving our work and being kind to ourselves. ☺️🙌

Last Sunday was the #worldmentalhealthday and I wa Last Sunday was the #worldmentalhealthday and I want to share something of my journey that may be helpful for someone who feels lost like I did many times during my life, since I was at secondary school.

It takes courage, it takes time. Sometimes it’s a battle within yourself that you can never fully win. Despite all the help and support I received from my family and friends, it was only when I said “That’s it!” that things started to change. And it’s not over, I know. But that’s okay too because all you need to do right now is to love yourself first. Forgive yourself. Move on and only make room for beautiful things and beautiful people in your life.
