Bio
I live in Novellara in the province of Reggio Emilia, where I was born. I’m a lover of animals, travel and dance in general, I have danced for many years afro and afro/contemporary, many shows in the most varied places, including an internship in Guinea. I have traveled a lot and had two international volunteering experiences, in Brazil and in the Republic Democratic of the Congo. I love nature in all its forms, but the element that most enchants me is the sea, whether it is calm or stormy, Caribbean or oceanic, it always manages to fascinate me, captivate me and a reconnect with myself; as far as art is concerned, I was a little girl who drew a lot, I got lost with paper and colors for hours, surely it has always been a way to express what I didn't say aloud. I come from one artistic higher education, but the vicissitudes of life and volunteer experiences have me led, at a certain point in my life, to completely change direction, so I graduated in Occupational Therapy, medical school health profession, finding myself working for several years in a neurological intensive rehabilitation unit. I love this job and the rewards it gives me, but the Pandemic and its vicissitudes made me understand that creativity and art are something innate, which belongs to me deeply and through which I can express myself and my complex emotional world, and which I can't and won't give up anymore.
