Hey there, I'm Chiara Franceschetti, residing in the sunny South Tyrol, Italy, near a picturesque forest that fuels my creativity. Inspired by childhood memories, vintage books, and tales from the woods, I express my art digitally, sprinkling in watercolors and pencils for that extra touch of magic. My creations revolve around happy and adorable characters, telling stories brimming with positivity, vibrancy, and good vibes. Drawing has been my passion for as long as I can remember, with my handmade pieces finding homes at local markets, adorning everything from t-shirts to ceramic cups.
From winning my first national drawing contest at the tender age of 3 to enchanting kids with my illustrated books, my journey has been sprinkled with moments of joy and recognition. Each piece I create holds a special place in my heart, teaching me valuable lessons along the way. Known for my professionalism, adaptability, and the knack for turning any character into an endearing one, I find solace in the intricate process of character study. As an architect and interior designer by profession, I infuse my love for design intricacies into my art, ensuring every detail shines through.
Growing up in the '80s, I found solace in illustrated children's books, drawing inspiration from the works of Felicitas Kuhn. The enchanting nature surrounding my home serves as a wellspring of creativity, often inspiring whimsical characters rooted in the magic of the woods. Balancing my artistic endeavors with family time, Sunday masses, and nature walks, I aspire to be remembered as the creator of delightful books that ignite children's imaginations. With a loving family, two cats, and a hamster by my side, I continue to weave tales of joy and wonder, embodying the essence of happiness through my art.
