Vanessa Is Italian born and bred, beginning her life in the shadow of a great castle city presiding over the foothills of the ancient Dolomites and looking out over the Venetian plain all the way to Venice. She does not really recall how she began drawing fairies. They arrived one evening, looked around and took up residence in her imagination to stay. One could spend a lifetime trying to piece together the reasons that fairies choose one person over another to draw them and write about them. But why wonder? It is best to just get busy and draw, before they flit away as fairies are wont to do.

Vanessa has been the recipient of many awards including a Webby Worthy from The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. She was also published in the prestigious book Graphis Interactive.

The artistic effort behind the FantaFairies has produced a collection of highly detailed ink drawings showcasing various subjects. The project
is particularly meaningful and close to Vanessa’s heart because the FantaFairies are ambassadors of goodwill and they benefit various charitable organizations.

Vanessa lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with her husband, their daughter, three cats and two dogs. When she is not drawing, she is either designing websites
