No, I'm not from Los Angeles, I'm actually an author/illustrator from Brazil!
I sold my first drawing when I was 8 years old, to my friends at school. But at a parent teacher meeting a mom complained 'a kid' was selling drawings in class. Guess whose mom was extremely quiet at the meeting?
Fast forward a bit, my passion for languages, history and traveling led me to pursue a Bachelor's in International Relations! I also took a gap year and had the opportunity to live in two different countries in 2019: Sweden and Israel.
When I came back home, I worked a few different jobs, but art kept calling my name. So here I am! literally living my childhood dream of illustrating stories for fun (and well, money).
I illustrate fun characters in gouache and watercolor. They are normally interacting with animals or are one themselves! My love for furry babies comes from my puppy, who you see in the picture. She is my 16 year old poodle toy, her name is Lilica!
