BIOGRAPHY

I grew up in Spain where I studied Fine Arts at the University of Salamanca. As far as I can remember I have always enjoyed drawing and writing stories, my work is driven by story-telling. 

I have now two children, very little, just recently finished my maternity leave and I combine my work with motherhood as well as I can.

I graduated with Distinction in 2016 from the MA in Children’s Book Illustration at The Cambridge School of Art.

The MA in Children's book illustration has given me a great opportunity to experiment further with my work and even to create my first picture book as author and illustrator with Walker books. My books as author and illustrator with Walker Books are 'That fruit is mine!', ‘Little Green Donkey’ and '‘The Walloos BIG adventure’.

I have also illustrated a poetry book THE DREAM TRAIN written by Sean Taylor and published in 2022 by Walker books.

I have also illustrated a picture book with Nosy Crow 'A Bear is a Bear (except when he's not)' written by Karl Newson. and my second book as an illustrator with Nosy Crow ‘What will you dream of tonight?’ written by Frances Stickley.

I have also illustrated many fiction/chapter books in black and white. I love working in black and white!

I love exploring texture in my work, and use mixed media, including print-making, handmade stamps and stencilled shapes. I really like working with colour as well as with black and white images.
