Her life and times are every bit as fascinating as her works themselves are. Her life story is a veritable roller-coaster; let’s take a deeper look. Her childhood and early years.

Design at Venetian Casino

On top of a lot of bucket lists is a visit to Venice. But it’s a slog to get there, always crowded, and in reality not the friendliest city ever. So wouldn’t it be perfect if you could get the whole Venetian experience without all that bother? And have a little wager, too? Well you’re in luck, because you can! Instead...
