My name is Teresa Caruso, Grazia is my middle name,
that is why I am call myself graceterry.
I was born in October 1994 in Lugano, Switzerland, middle daughter in a family of five children, we grew up together with a lot of friends living in the same neighbourhood and that meant always being around a lot of kids, playing and making up stories for new games.

In this jungle I found my little personal space for expression in my room when I was at my desk and I could draw whatever was on my mind: I used to come back from school and go grab my pencils, I just loved to draw and it always brought me to another dimension.

Growing up I continued to follow my passion while having fun and being wild with my friends and cousins, brothers and sisters, at school: those were the best years of my life. After middle school I decided to go to high school and I chose languages as specific, in fact, in spite of the fact that I loved art I wanted to expand my interests and learn the more that I could. Nevertheless after I graduated I decided I wanted to learn a profession in the artistic department, therefore I went to university and got a Bachelor in Visual Communication, which gave me the skills to be a professional graphic designer and allowed me to continue to expand my art on the side. Recently I found out another passion of mine which is teaching and right now I am following the path that will lead me to being professor: in the meantime I am expressing my inside world through my drawings.
