I discovered my love for adult colouring books when I became a first-time mom six years ago. I wanted to prioritise my own well-being and self-care so that I could recharge and be fully present for my young baby when she was awake. I needed a way to do this that didn’t require spending hours at a spa or on expensive beauty treatments.

While stocking up on colouring supplies for my daughter Valentina, I stumbled upon a “Mummy and Me” colouring book. Later, I found a beautiful adult colouring book called “The Enchanted Forest,” which captivated me with its intricate designs. Inspired, I began creating my own colouring pages, using my kids as focus groups to refine the topics and levels of complexity for all ages.

My colouring books, along with engaging short stories, aim to spark interest and creativity in both children and adults. As a wife and mother of two, I am also the proud owner of two teacup Maltese terriers, Comino and Luna. This inspiration led me to create “A Teacup Maltese Christmas: A Festive Colouring Adventure.”
