Available to hire
I am Barbara Oliveira, a graduate in Visual Arts and an Illustrator. I chose this course and profession because I see art as a way to create bridges between the adult world and the child’s world, full of fantasy.
I especially choose children’s books because I see them as humanizing objects capable of transmitting ideas in an accessible and playful way.
