Personal Summary

I am a Peruvian illustrator with an MDes in Comics from the University of Dundee and an MFA in Illustration from SCAD. My art is a prayer in color: joyful, vibrant, and rooted in the stories of my homeland. I seek to reflect the beauty of God through my work, drawing on the richness of Peruvian culture and the quiet presence of my Catholic faith. Now living in the USA, I work as a freelance illustrator, creating images that speak to the soul.
