Ciao! Mi chiamo Roberta Marone e sono di Napoli. Sono sposata con Carlo, ginecologo, ed ho due adorabili e bellissime bambine.
Pur non venendo da studi artistici, infatti mi sono laureata in giurisprudenza ed ho tentato la carriera forense, l’arte è stata per me una compagna costante nel corso degli anni. Mio padre è il celebre pittore napoletano A. De Vity e mia madre è una pianista. Entrambi mi hanno trasmesso l’amore per l’arte, ed un insegnamento fondamentale, e cioè che in questo settore per ottenere dei risultati soddisfacenti è necessario osare, sperimentare e soprattutto studiare con tanta costanza. Il mio percorso “artistico” parte così a 27 anni quando ho cominciato a cantare in un quartetto jazz. Successivamente, per gli impegni familiari, ho preferito lasciar perdere, ma la mia smania creativa a cercato nuove forme di espressione. L’incontro col découpage è stato del tutto casuale, ma posso affermare che è stato amore a prima vista. E forse, per il bagaglio personale che mi porto dietro, il pittorico è stata una scelta obbligata… Oggi dopo tanti anni di sacrificio, studio e sperimentazioni, offrire una collaborazione apprezzata è, credetemi, una grande soddisfazione!!!

My name is Roberta, I am 43 years old and I live in Naples. I'm married to Carlo, gynecologist, and I have two lovely and wonderful girls.
I was born in a family where Art always had a lead role. My father is the Neapolitan painter Antonio De Vity and my mother is a pianist and teacher.
So I was grown up between brushes, colours, and paintings but I’ve never felt that attraction! I was more involved with music, singing jazz standards in clubs.
After my first daughter was born I had no more time to sing, and by case discovered découpage while I was looking for Christmas decorations and gifts. I can state that it was “first sight love”. In a few weeks my kitchen was full of books, papers, colours, brushes and stuff to decorate. I realized how much I unwittingly had learnt during all those years passed looking at my father’s work. I tough I could have never painted a simple background and instead after the first easy projects, I realised how easy was for me to create a fake marble or a lapis lazuli, and how much my pictorial touch ups were improving. And the most beautiful thing was the possibility to create everything I had in my mind by the right choice of paper, and the way it harmonized with a good choice of colours, materials and shapes.
So in a few years I started to collaborate for a very important Italian découpage magazine, showing several découpage projects. I tough I was at the top I could reach, and by the way I’m now member of the Worldwide Artists of Découpage, and I still can’t believe myself, and for this I must thank two wonderful persons, Roy Larking and Marion D. Peer.
