She is currently working on her first didactic book for children, which will be published in Italy. Her drawings are whimsical and profound, with a sensibility for everyday settings; this is what she says about her work:
"What I want is to create an emotion, to take the viewer to the edge of my pencil and bring them to other realities."  To see more of her work, visit: http://sylviebello.blogspot.com
