About

Coco (she/they) is a visual artist, writer and performer. Her work explores the joys and anxieties that make her lived experience a divergent reality. It speaks out against ableism and missing or stereotypical representations and addresses complex topics such as grief, trauma and sense of self; but also belonging, and the hope for a world more welcoming to everyone.

Corinne Stoppelli, bird art

Coco is a multiply neurodivergent, she defines herself as autistic and disabled. She has also ADHD (attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity), CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) and dyspraxia. These particularities influence all aspects of her life, whether social or practical, and she is trying to build a work practice as accessible as possible around herself.

Coco's greatest hope is that her art could bring a sense of comfort, joy and pride to people with similar lived experiences, but also open well-need conversations on the topic of inclusion among allies and the general public.

Coco was born and grew up an Italian in Switzerland, in 1983. This website is dedicated to her visual art practice and writing (zines) but you can find more information on her general artistic and lived background on her personal website, corinnestoppelli.com

Coco's favorite bird is the tree sparrow... But she loves them all, really, from the chicken to the crow, not forgetting the kakapo.

Cocomoino, the brand

Cocomoino: bird stationery and giclée art prints

The giclée art prints are reproduced with the finest materials to make them look as vibrant as her original pieces, but also durable. Treated well, they will last a lifetime.

Coco designs, prints & packages everything in her tiny studio. She uses vegan ink and paper and does her best to source materials as sustainably as possible and reuse as much as possible.

By buying here you support an independent artist, a small woman/non-binary autistic run business and a human always trying to do her very best despite adverse conditions. Thank you!


The tools and techniques

My bird art is made with watercolor, carbon ink but also other art techniques

Coco mostly uses carbon ink and watercolors, but she also enjoys a collage here and a mural there, because why not. She likes mixing techniques and exploring textures and bold colors. Lately she's been exploring digital art and product creation.
