We're delighted to introduce some gorgeous new artwork to Arti by illustrator Monica Auriemma 🎨
"As a child, drawing was my perfect moment of joy, as it is for many children. I still feel that way.
After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples (Italy) and working for 15 years as a set designer in the theatre and cinema, I had an epiphany: I wanted to be an illustrator.
My first book was published in 2005, and since then I have worked for Italian, British and American publishers.
I devote any spare time I have to personal projects, where I can express myself freely. This has earned me a Highly Commended at the World Illustration Awards 2020 and the Purple Island Award at the NAMI Concours 2021. What you see here is part of one of these projects."
