(Margherita)
I’m an artist from Italy, I love painting and making art, cooking good vegan food, looking after animals, and connecting with nature.

I studied art in Venice and worked for a bit in contemporary art, before I started travelling in 2016. I joined a European Commission's environmental project in Romania, then I got the travel bug, and kept moving and exploring mainly Europe, Canada, New Zealand, and a little bit of India.
My favorite activity while traveling is volunteering or working, because it allows me to experience the local area much more deeply than simply by touring and passing by. I like to get involved and to enjoy a sense of community, and I especially love to contribute with my art and creativity. I accumulated practical experience in a large variety of fields, especially in making art, eco-living, and community events.

I’ve met Josh while working in New Zealand in 2019, and we painted some lovely murals together in India. In 2020 we took a break from traveling and moved to Scotland, where I worked mainly as an artist, taking commissions and upcycling furniture. I also managed a small makers shop, and I shared my skills through many art classes and workshops.

From January to May 2024 me and Josh will be in Asia and India, and we hope to paint some beautiful mural art for our hosts (and their guests) to enjoy. I’m looking forward to offer my expertise as an artist.

I have travelled longer term over the past decade, alongside studying and working as a forester in Scotland.
I have volunteered extensively throughout Australia, Europe and India in a variety of roles such as permaculture/organic vegetable growing, saw milling, farm maintenance and operations, and assistance with digital media/web design.
Most recently in 2020 I got involved painting mural work with Margherita, something I hope to continue with and find new painting opportunities.
However, I am happy to volunteer in whatever capacity is required and to assist wherever is needed.

When we started traveling together we immediately teamed up as muralists, you can see examples of our work in the profile pictures. If you're looking for some colour kick for your walls send us a message! Hi

You'll usually find me in the forests or the mountains. I enjoy connecting with the land.
