ABOUT ME

I'm Serena Ferrero, a freelance illustrator and comic artist based in Turin, North Italy. My pen-name is SantaMatita.

I mostly work with Procreate and Adobe Photoshop, but I come from traditional techniques like watercolor, gouache, fat graphite and dirty, dirty inks that I'm always happy to come back to.

In and out of the studio I am: Patient, loyal friend, tough love advocate, feral monkey, generally just happy to be here. I love to bike.
