About

I’m a freelance artist specializing in children’s illustrations since 2022. I’m from Maracaibo, Venezuela, and now I’m based in Madrid, Spain.

Represented by Book Buddy Media, my illustration work includes titles such as "Gary’s Blooming Business published by Astra Publishing House, “Glad You’re Here” and “The Swap Meet” for Hopscotch Publishing House, as well as several books in the Whispering Wood series—Clockwork Curse, Haunted Deliveries, The Book of Riddles, and Who’s Haunting Who—published by Lerner Publishing Group and many more. I’ve also contributed visual development work for indie Webtoons and short films.

With a strong foundation in visual storytelling, I’d love to work together on your book and bring the story to life!
