# About me
I’m Maddalena. I share smiles.I am Lena Rea, a freelance Graphic Designer and Photographer based in Bristol in the United Kingdom.
I am at my most content when viewing the world through a lens and I adore being able to express my passion for our beautiful planet via my photography. When I don't have the resources available to portray my vision I reach for Photoshop. I am entirely self taught and never afraid to try something new be it risqué, sophisticated or utterly unique! Art is my life and life is my art, I can't imagine my world without creativity, like a world without trees, I just don't think I could exist if I were unable to create!
My ultimate inspiration is my mother, a natural artist. I've grown up marvelling at her ability to create beauty and elegance with such ease, and always yearned to follow in her footsteps. It always seemed to me there was nothing she could not do, and that gave me the determination to work towards equalling her artistic skill. I've been taking photographs for as long as I can remember, but only started exploring the wonderful world of graphic design in the last ten years, over this time I have built my abilities from the ground up, I love learning new skills and believe I improve a little more each time I open Photoshop! If you like the sound of what I do, get in touch! I'd love to hear from you.
