Francesca Cosanti

Francesca is an Italian artist with a love of travel: both as inspiration - drawing from places, shapes and colors, and enjoying travel itself and going back home to the countryside too. She has been drawing since she was a child. After high school, she decided to study illustration and animation at the IED in Rome. During her studies, Francesca started illustrating greeting cards for a small Italian company. Francesca is now an award winning illustrator and a member of the Association of Italian Images Authors. She mainly works digitally in Procreate and Photoshop. She currently works as a freelance illustrator with various publishing companies and advertising agencies and has published several books in Italy and abroad. In her free time, Francesca dedicates herself to her passions: food, swim, books, travel, and photography. She also loves taking long walks with her dog, Pina, and chatting with her three cats. If she wasn’t an illustrator, Francesca would love to work with animals or be a pastry chef. She enjoys reading as a way to escape from reality and get new inspiration. When working, she enjoys having a movie or TV series on in the background. Her favorite TV series is Friends. ​Although Francesca loves illustrating books, she hopes to gain more work in editorial and advertising as well.
