HEY THERE!
I'm an artist at heart, who became an Architect and eventually switched careers to be an illustrator due to my passion for children’s books! I live in the wonderful city of Madrid with my husband and Pipo the sweetest wiredhaired dachshund you’ll ever find! When I’m not drawing you can find me walking with Pipo, having a chai latte with almond milk, trying to learn new crafts, cooking, in an art supplies shop, or teaching on Skillshare I love to experiment and mix a little bit of everything in my work: watercolor, gouache, colored pencils, ink, and also bring in a little of digital drawing to it. I’m a fan of traditional media, but see the benefits of the digital too! My dream is to publish picture books and at the moment I prioritise children's book illustration. I'm open to any opportunity that comes my way! |
5 FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:
- I went to architecture school and worked for several years as an architect before pursuing my art career full-time.
- I'm good with languages! I can speak 4, and I can understand and more or less explain myself (when travelling) in other 2.
- I love walking. It's my favourite way to explore new places, discover hidden streets and even spot off the path restaurants and cute little shops!
- I make up silly songs I only share with my husband and Pipo.
- I'm allergic to onion! And it's an ingredient really popular in Spanish cuisine... so I have to make my own version of every recipe!
