Get to Know Me
About
Author, illustrator, and creative storyteller from Switzerland.
Hello, I'm Simona!
My lovely husband and I live in the countryside of Switzerland and I have completed my studies as a bookseller here. Among the things I deeply enjoy are the smell of pine forests, walking barefoot in a river bed and writing poetry in the hardest moments of life. I have a weakness for baked goods and sweets. Training martial arts is another passion of mine that influences both my art and writing.
Creative Voice
Telling stories, writing, and exploring the meaning of life are passions of mine. I believe that art is not only a way to express feelings or create entertainment, but also a possibility to convey messages so that they become meaningful and personal to more people than just oneself. It is essential to me to have a creative voice and vision that unites my work. I achieve this by illustrating and designing the world I write about in my novels.
In the future, I would like to make movies and am fascinated by the various crafts involved in the creation of costumes, sets, and production design.
What I Do
Writer
I write character-driven fantasy novels that explore philosophical themes through imaginative worlds and morally complex characters.
Artist
My favorite medium is gouache, but I am fascinated by numerous other techniques.
Hobby-Photographer
When I'm not in my studio or writing, I'm most likely to be found in the Swiss Alps with my camera and sketchbook.
