Meet Your Artist and Workshop Host:

"Hi, I'm Cecilia!

I graduated in Architecture in Venice and have explored many different artistic disciplines throughout my creative journey, including painting and sculpture.re

I'm passionate about creating objects from discarded materials and natural elements that I find in my surroundings. I also design furniture, decorative objects and lamps, always enjoying the process of transforming simple or unexpected materials into something beautiful and meaningful.

Together with my family, I chose to build an eco-friendly home using principles of bio-architecture here in the Marche region of Italy. Today, I love sharing this special place and my artistic passions with others.

My creative work is inspired by a continuous search for beauty, simplicity and lightness. I believe that everyone can benefit from the freedom to create, play and experiment with new ideas.

Surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape, my home offers an inspiring environment where you can slow down, reconnect with your creativity and discover the joy of making things by hand.

I look forward to welcoming you to Casa Natura and sharing my love of paper art with you!"
