Roberta Terracchio was born and lives in Palermo (Sicily, Italy). She is known for her positive mood, and her minimalist and engaging illustrations. She mainly creates digital images by using a palette of bright colours, carefully chosen to fill every illustration with little details to be discovered. Roberta is a daydreamer who loves the sea, blank pages, writing, inventing stories, and drawing on the spot.

She published her first author-illustrated book in 2014. Not long after, she created a character that became the protagonist of her book ‘Sketch’s Journey’ (Il Viaggio di Sketch), Valentina Edizioni, in 2016.
