Biography
Born in Massa Marittima the 30th of March,1976, starts to use painting and drawing to communicate her emotions and feelings at a very young age.
At first, her artistic career begins as self-taught artist, then from 2005 to 2013 she attends a hyperrealism course, that enables her to master watercolour, charcoal drawing and oil painting on canvas techniques and to discover her inclination towards surreal subjects.
Her curiosity leads her to collaborate with maestri carristi of the famous Viareggio's Carnival, from whom she learns paper-mâché and clay sculpture techniques that she uses to create low relieves, frescos and murals. During this period, she starts to work in synergy with local schools and institutes founding, conducting and managing arts workshops and, thanks to these experiences, in 2011, she finally establishes her own school: Simon Art School.
Over the years she has successfully participated to several art contests and her works have been displayed in solo and collective exhibitions in Rome, Florence, Salsomaggiore Terme, Grosseto and Follonica art galleries amongst the others.
One of her artworks has inspired Paolo Pampana's book "La Signora Delle Farfalle", and ended being the actual cover illustration. Images of her artefacts and paintings have been published on national and local newspapers and magazines and have also been selected to appear on various art catalogues:
“Donne Dell’arte in Toscana 2013”
“Selezione Arte l’Elite 2014”
“Catalogo Esposizione Triennale di Arti Visive a Roma Giorgio Mondadori 2014 “
”Selezione Arte l’Elite 2015”
Throughout her care she was rewarded with positive feedback from various art critics, like Dr Claudio Lepri, Dr Roberto Perdicaro and Dr Vito Cracas. Nowadays her artworks are exhibited at Galleria Centro Culturale"Il Leone" in Rome and in private collections in Italy and Australia.
