About

As a child, I would spend hours drawing, recreating portraits (Elvis was my muse back then) and enjoying the process. I stopped after high school as I wanted to discover the world. I worked in a lot of very high demanding positions within corporations while living in Paris, NY, and Stockholm.

My mum was so supportive and my biggest fan. She wanted me to focus on drawing full time, but I wanted an international career. Back then, I was struggling to know what I wanted to express through my art, and I needed to live first. After 30 years of ups and downs, joys and heartbreaks, my life has shaped me and gave me the substance I needed.

The arrival of my daughter in 2019 and the loss of my mother in 2020 amid the pandemic made a huge impact in my life and compelled me to draw again. I want to surround my daughter with beauty, creativity, and color while explaining or describing our very particular story focusing or concentrating on writing and illustrating books for toddlers.
