“As an introverted kid, I noticed others would approach me whenever I drew or painted – it was how I made friends. That encouraged me to keep at it and not much has changed,” she told in an interview for Ballpit. Fast forward some time, the NYC-based Cetrulo is nowadays a recognized illustrator who worked with big brand names, including Teen Vogue, H&M, The Wing, and many more.

She describes her artistic process as erratic which involves a “lot of looking, mindless scribbling, and torn out sketchbook pages,” however, her current most liked mediums are colored pencils and gouache.

We really enjoyed browsing through her Instagram page and seeing all the beautiful portraits of women she depicted. Keep up with the artist’s work on her social media accounts or have a look at her personal website.

“I like the opaqueness of gouache and its visual clarity. I think it’s valuable to be forced to work directly on the paper, keeps you focused. On the other hand, I recently started scanning line drawings and coloring them digitally. It is efficient for quick jobs and does offer more flexibility with colors,” the artist shared on Ballpit and added that she is also a keen calligrapher.

She was introduced to art at a very young age, and then she put her doodling to good use and went to study graphic design, illustration, and typography.

“10 years ago I moved to the UK to study some more. There is something about being away from your home that makes you open to new experiences and it becomes the ideal environment to learn and be creative.”

She worked with a list of clients, such as Albert Whitman, Heinemann, Cricket Magazine, Oxford University Press, Ciela Publishing, and MilkX Magazine.
