Daniela became an illustrator in a rather less conventional way than most .She moved to London in 1999 to study photography at The London College of Printing. However since at least the age of 5 drawing has been her passion.
She has early memories of sitting with her mother who used to work in a architectural studio and being given huge sheets of 'magic paper' (tracing paper to grown-ups) to draw on whilst she waited for her mother to take her
home. However Daniela decided to study psychology at university. But as chance would have it, on what she now refers to as "one lucky day" Daniela was asked to deliver some papers to a graphic design studio on behalf of her father's company.
.



She remembers this as a life changing moment as it made her realize she could have a career in drawing and consequently she changed her plans from psychology to product design. This still wasn't right for her and after the first year she went on to Study fine art painting in Milan and was inspired and encouraged greatly by the accomplished painter Claudio Olivieri. Daniela's technique is mixed media, collage and sometimes computer generated. Her work has an exquisite originality and quality that is beautiful and even haunting at times.
