ABOUT

Hi and welcome! My name is Marina, I'm italian and I currently live in Rome with my other half and our two kiddos.

I'm a daytime engineer and a nighttime artist and occasional crafter, completely in love with watercolours, botanical illustrations and travelling journals.

I'm constantly inspired by nature and its beautiful patterns, fascinated by the changing of the seasons and amazed by wild flowers and plants. I dream of a house in the countryside close to the sea, with a mediterranean garden. In the meantime, I grow succulents on my tiny balcony.

I created this space many years ago to show my work, experiment with colours and document the everyday; you will find sneak peeks of my sketchbook pages, craft projects, family life and personal rambles. Thank you for visiting!
