Maria Diletta Quadrini

Illustrator

Hello, I’m Maria Diletta, and I’m a children’s book illustrator. I live in Terni, Umbria (Italy), and I’ve always loved to draw. It’s been my greatest passion since I was a child, and it is still today.

I never formally trained as an illustrator; what I learned, I learned by doing. I try to improve my skills with every project and always strive to stretch my abilities.
