in nature's simple delight, I discover joy, stoking my creativity and setting my imagination ablaze

Who
I am

Picture of Chiara Nasi, children's book illustrator & storyteller, reading a book in her living room
If you do not find me in my city apartment, look for me in the woods, near a waterfall or anywhere you might stumble upon an iceberg.

If you ask me where I find inspiration, I’d say it's with a backpack on my shoulders, in a tent or on top of a hay bale.

As a child, I was a fairy seeker, notebook in hand, cataloguing those little creatures and drawing them in their everyday life.
Now as then, I listen, I breathe, I inhale nature and exhale shapes and colors, sharing with you everything nature whispers to me.

How
I work

I try to immerse myself as much as I can in the local traditions I find on my trips, - whether with the Sámi in Scandinavia, or with Native American tribes in Montana - always striving to learn from them the art of connecting with nature through their tales, words, music and history.

I buy books, collect rocks and locally handcrafted items weaving together photography, objects and memories.

While my inspiration often comes from the northern lands, I also feel the pull to come back to my roots, deep in the countryside of Emilia Romagna region, where I was born and raised. It's a familiar place that brings to mind peaceful boondocks and rolling hills covered in flowers, oozing with tranquility: pristine, beautiful and cozy.
