Hi! I'm Matilda

From a very young age, I had the opportunity to have contact with art in various forms; my mother was a painter, so there were always paintings, easels, oils, acrylics, and canvas everywhere. Already past adolescence, I carried out my act of rebellion. I enrolled in an Arts school, the happiest three years of my life regarding freedom for my creative expression with open arms.

Responsibilities soon arrived, university, work, marriage, and 4 wonderful children, so 25 years passed, and life, like a Swiss clock, brought me a half-empty nest and menopause simultaneously!

I am a happy person who loves and is loved with tenderness and passion. Still, whenever difficult times came, as we all do, arts and crafts were an incredible emotional lifeline. This is how a few years ago, I completely fell in love with the art of Journaling and creating a new story through each journal. For a long time, it has only been a personal and very private activity, but I have felt the need to share it with others over time.

This is how I started a small project of Journaling with adolescents to offer young people this fantastic tool for free expression, creativity, and emotional self-care. This store, Matilda's Journals is my newest project; reinventing myself and creating will be something that will surely accompany me until the last day of my life when I have to walk under the sun.
