After more than eighteen years of living in Florence and thirty plus years working in the fashion industry, I created This Tuscan Life blog,  magazine and then added a splash of watercolour to become a full-time artist and illustrator. 
I offer private and group watercolour workshops in Florence and beyond.

Acquerelli in Florence 

I learnt how to paint with watercolour when I first came to Florence in 1993.  So much has happened since that first experience and now, thirty years later I am back painting in this city that I have called home for close to twenty years.

I love painting florals, landscapes and portraits as well as any special memories you would like to capture in an original watercolur painting
