Giovanni Abeille

Giovanni Abeille was born and raised in Naples, Italy. He has been an upholsterer, salesman, banker, toolmaker, set dresser, and even a fireman—but drawing has always been his passion. He studied at the Naples Academy of Fine Arts and has worked as an artist for more than 20 years, illustrating books such as Rose Spoke Out: The Story of Rose Schneiderman by Emma Carlson Berne and Turkey vs. Santa by Todd Tarpley, among others. When not illustrating, he loves spending time with his family. He invites you to visit him on Instagram @illustrations_gio.
