MAGIC CABIN BOOKS’ first artist collaboration for the debut title Amongst the Trees features Alessia Tricarico, a talented artist from Bari, Italy (Puglia). Alessia holds a degree in Set Design for Cinema and TV from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bari, where she graduated with top honors. Known for her expertise in digital illustration, video, and animation, Alessia was able to thoughtfully execute the specific art style envisioned for this project.

Working from the other side of the world, Alessia’s passion for her craft and ability to adapt to intricate direction made her an invaluable collaborator. Navigating time zone and language differences, she remained focused and communicative throughout the process. Her skill in interpreting specific visual references and designs, especially those based on the local flora and fauna, was essential to translating the creative vision into a cohesive and grounded visual world.

Alessia’s dedication brought the visual elements of Amongst the Trees to life, enhancing the connection between the story and the natural beauty it celebrates.
