Illustration
I have craved stories and beautiful images since I was a 5-6 yo girl. I did not have many illustrated books at my disposal back in the '90s post-communist Romania, but my imaginative mind started dreaming up fairytales and illustrating them on scraps of paper stitched together. Many years have passed and my love and fascination for illustrated stories is still as strong as it was then, and in the work that I do now, as a professional illustrator, I always put a bit of that childlike wonder.
