These illustrations are inspired by my life-changing move to Sicily, Italy, after 11 years of living and working in London. This collection reflects my excitement for a fresh start, capturing the warmth, colours, and atmosphere of Italy. It marks the beginning of my journey into full-time creative work, as I left behind my previous life to pursue my passions. Alongside this transition, I’ve been learning Italian and settling into a new rhythm, and these illustrations represent my joy, freedom, and newfound connection to this beautiful country.
