What I illustrate

  1. Nature illustrations

    Birds, flowers and alpine landscapes in watercolour and pencil, also as works on paper.

  2. Sketches for murals

    Every mural starts with a colour sketch that lets you see the result before work begins.

  3. Illustrated educational panels

    Illustrations for museums, nature trails and educational farms: clear and accurate.

  4. Illustrations for exhibitions

    Drawings designed together with the furnishings of the space, as for the bee museum at La Casa di Maia.

The sketch
comes first

The sketch is when we decide subject, colours and proportions together. Here you can see the drawing for Rifugio Cuore Felice next to the finished mural.

Pencil,
watercolour, paper

I work by hand, with pencil and watercolour. The preparatory studies are often small works in their own right, to keep or to frame.
