You might be thinking that art buys my bread and butter, if so you could not be more wrong.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to, but like many other fantastic artists, my art doesn't earn me a living and it is more like an outlet to vent, imagine, live, create, take a break from the rest of the world...
One day maybe I will reach notoriety and the ability of earning a living doing what I love the most, today is not the day, but this doesn't mean that I cannot find a way to enjoy what I do to pay my bills.
Fact is, I have been looking for work for a while, necessity really but also the desire to start something and unite the useful to the enjoyable.
So it happens that I will be starting a new job soon, hopefully I will have still some "me time " to do artisize, and hopefully I will also love what I do for a living.
It's nothing creative though, far from it, it is actually quite pragmatic oriented and I will train to learn a subject that hopefully will make a good difference in people's life (as well as pay my bills).
Right now this adventure might take more time off my art than I would like to, but I will still try my best to keep you updated and create more art work for you to love.. or hate LOL.
Just lately I have pretty much stuck with the digital and photo editing as I found it quite inspiring, I am still quite a beginner I believe but with time and practice I will be able to use this new technique to serve my muse.
Meanwhile wish me luck with my new venture, I have uploaded on of my latest photo/drawing work, and some of the photo editing I have been doing.
A bit of ego stroking this time, where I have been using my face to create photo alterations.
Be happy
Be safe
Be whatever you want to be

New Home/Old Home
It's fantastic moving home, especially if you move somewhere you longed to be, and find yourself in a better place.
I am now in a place I love -Manchester- where I feel at home and also close to the people that truly count in my life besides my boyfriend and my daughter, oh, and our pooch of course.
I found myself in Manchester and I, most of all, I learnt to love myself in this beautiful city.
Our move has proved to be a good choice so far as we are enjoying living in here much much more.
I remember thinking I was going to exile when I moved to Dewsbury, and a lot of times it felt that way.
Never the less I am grateful for that time, I can even say that just before we moved here I had made peace with the fact that I was living there and tried to take the best out of it.
Being alone and sometimes lonely is actually very cathartic; as out of my element as I felt, I think I proved myself that I could find something good in really any situation: good or bad.
Plus, I had the time I need to look inside and find what I wanted without distractions, and I did find a lot of new dreams and hopes.
But, being here is a joy and I am not surprised the move happened in a moment when I was more contempt, as who knows me well also knows that I believe in The Law Of Attraction and what you attract matches the mood/vibe you give out.
I also believe that we can still manage to get something good out of many sad situations.
Today I had some sad news about someone I cared about, I realised that they touched me more than I thought because the idea of not seeing them again made me incredibly sad, yet, a part of me was amazed at the fact that although I had spent very little time with him I was touched so deeply.
I will miss him, but I was lucky to know him.
It will not heal the loss quickly but it is realizations like this that are a bit of a "soul-painkiller" in times of sadness.
I wish to them who were closer to him and feel his loss more deeply than I do, to find these little pieces of relief while they come to terms with it; to him to be happy wherever he is, I am sure he is leading the party!
Now, a departure from the sadness and a bit of news about my art.
With my move happening I couldn't help but thinking of my BIGGEST MOVE EVER, when I left Italy.
Although Manchester feels like home, there are other places that have felt that way during my life which is why I am going to make a series of Art Works dedicated to those special corners of the world where my heart felt cosy and to belong.
The first one is published on this page, and of course is my Birth-Town and where I grew up: Rome.
There are other places who are just as dear to my heart and there will be there for more photos, stay tuned to find out which places are they some are more popular, some not so much, but maybe you'll appreciate their beauty just the same.
Be Blessed, through joy and sadness
