Canadian born
Marilyn Day went to London, England in her teens to study art
and began her career there illustrating cookery and gardening
books.Twenty years ago she moved to Tuscany and now lives
there with her family in an old farmhouse in the hills east of
Florence. Her studio overlooks the castello of Nipozzano and
Frescabaldi vineyards. In Italy she has illustrated many
children's books and also produced the beautiful artwork for
the cards and decorative papers found in the "Il
Papiro" shops worldwide.
Her watercolours are
inspired by the local buildings and the produce of the fields
and gardens that surround them, evoking the colours, flavours
and harmony of central Italy. Prints of her still lifes are on
sale in Italy and America. Her acrylic paintings, framed in
original local windows, creates scenes of the winding lanes,
farms and lush vegetation of rural Tuscany.
Tuscany and art
go hand in hand
Now you can take
home your piece of Tuscany, created in the company of our
local artist. Lessons in coloured pencils and watercolours

perspective and , more importantly, they aim to give you the
confidence to create your own "momento" of your trip
to Tuscany to take home with you.
