In January of this year, my husband and I travelled to Milan, Italy. I previously resided 40 minutes west in a small city called Novara, and I wanted to visit a dear friend who is also an artist, illustrator and designer. I also had the opportunity to meet another artist who lives in Geneva, Switzerland. We met on Instagram and have since had two shows together in Basel.

You may wonder why we chose to travel to Italy in the winter, rather than in the summer as most people do. For me, the winter is magical and provides an opportunity to experience things that I would not necessarily have in the summer.

Upon returning home, I was completely inspired by the beauty, art and architecture of Milan. I invite you to see the city through my eyes and appreciate the geometry of Milano.

Artists, writers and thinkers often view travel as a transformative journey that alters perception, fuels creativity and fosters self-discovery. Until my next trip, I leave you with a well-known Italian quote about travel:

“work fills your pockets,
ADVENTURES FILL YOUR SOUL.”
