Unique gift ideas!

I am taking requests for commissioned artwork! I'll work with you to make a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece of art!

Hand-crafted artwork makes really unique and thoughtful gifts for any occasion, or to commemorate important events.

Pieces for weddings, birth announcements, birthdays, and special events can be personalized with names and dates.

I'd be delighted to work on custom pet portraits, special artwork for a child's room (or your room, of course!), a super-sweet "I love you", a fun little hand-cut logo for your small business, even a really special birthday card!

Commissions of all sizes welcome!

Shop is open!

I opened up my store on redbubble! Just a few products to start, but I'll be adding more as I go!

Spring Rain Winter Snow book

Six month update! 

Opening the box, and seeing my book in print for the first time! 

It's hard to believe it's been six months on the market for Spring Rain Winter Snow ! 

Great news!  

Spring Rain Winter Snow received an Honorable Mention in the Haiku Society of America 2015 Kanterman Book Awards for books published in 2014. Books were judged by Charles Trumbull and Neal Whitman and announced by the Society on June 1, 2015. 

The first page! 

It was incredible to finally see my work in print. Here's some belated pics of opening the package with my copies! 

Pages 6-7, spring bunnies! 

I want to thank Edward J. Reilly for his beautiful poetry, and Shanti Arts publishing for involving me with this project! 

The back cover might be my favorite!

Check out my new longboard art!

I just finished painting my new longboard! The art was inspired by the mind-blowing beauty of the universe. It combines the end of the solar system with some of my favorite pieces of astrophysics and ties it all together with time waves and eddies.

about me...
 

Welcome to the illustration studio of Angelina Buonaiuto.

An illustration is a dream captured on paper.

I am a children’s book illustrator from Maine living and dreaming in New York City . I am dedicated to creating images that reflect a gentle, playful look at life. I use the mediums of paper collage, print and paint to create unique illustrations for people who dream.

Do you dream in black and white, or color?

I dream in paper.
