Mariana Almaguer (she/her)
Hello, I am Mariana, an illustrator from Mexico! I am a story collector and I enjoy painting and playing with colour.
I studied filmmaking which developed my passion for storytelling. I love visual arts because I think it is a way to connect with others and express emotions that go beyond words. I like to draw nature and find the magic in the ordinary. My favourite materials are gouache, watercolour, and colour pencils. I create stories as a way of expressing my feelings and life experiences. I love the process of creating sequences through the page turn and create minimalist and joyful artwork.
