Tamara A. d'Amato is an Italian illustrator and comic book artist.
She studied Illustration at the International School of Comics in Naples, later accessing the second year of the Bande Dessinnée course at the International School of Comics in Rome.
She also expanded her studies to other fields, such as creative writing, at "La linea scritta," studying with Strega Prize finalist Antonella Cilento, and continued on creative side studies like costume design for theater in Venice.
She has published a comic book story about neurodivergent love in a symbolic key in the “Clessidra” volume with the independent publishing house "Attaccapanni Press," illustrated the children’s book "Il Grillo Gordon e Karasu Piroetta", and self-published the small children book “Perchè il gallo canta?”, she also collaborated as a visual development artist.
She fell in love with the illustration profession suddenly, at the dawn of her twenties, and her artistic journey began at that moment. The pact with painting came soon after, in the foothills of the Swiss mountains. There, for the first time, she tried to depict the rushing waters of the Rhine with watercolors, and she has not stopped since.
Her specialty is pencil and watercolor illustration, which she loves to reproduce both traditionally and digitally.
She also curates four - handed projects with the “Magnifico League of Artists Association” in her city to encourage people to start and still drawing.
She is actually working on the building of her blog “The fairy Teapot” to talk and illustrate about Beatrix Potter and share my experience while working on her upcoming trip in Lake District on the next February.
