Cacciapuoti Aurora
Hello everyone! I’m Aurora, an Italian author and illustrator. I was born in Carbonia, a small town in Sardinia. I love to travel, in fact, I’ve lived in many different cities such as Milan, Bologna, and Edinburgh, where I studied psychology, art psychotherapy, and theatre.
I also lived and worked in Cambridge (UK), where I graduated from the MA programme in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin University.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with publishers such as Chronicle Books, Nathan, Grasset, Tate, and Rizzoli, with my titles now translated across the globe.
My work has been highly commended twice for the Macmillan Prize, shortlisted for the AOI Awards, and awarded a Merit in the 3×3 International Illustration Show.
I work from my studio, where I combine hand-drawn and digital techniques to create my illustrations. When I’m not drawing, I love to cook, study Japanese, and ride my bike.
