MEET the ARTIST

I am a Spanish-Argentine illustrator, cartoonist and graphic facilitator based in Jamaica Plain in Boston, Massachusetts. I am also available for work throughout the United States and worldwide. Trabajo en inglés y en español.

After an itinerant life (ask me about it sometime), and after a lifetime of starting afresh, drawing helps me connect the dots. I like doing this for myself, in personal work, and for others.

I am an art historian (Ph.D., Duke '22) and economist (B.A. Universitat Pompeu Fabra). Since 2023, I have been a graphic facilitator, working to help groups generate and synthesize actionable ideas across industries and in the non-profit and government sectors.

My graphic facilitation experience informs my illustration work. I strive to drive clients' message in a way that is clear and memorable.

I'm also a passionate environmentalist, co-managing a private nature reserve in the Ecuadorian cloud forest with my husband. Read more about that here.

MATERIALS

I like to experiment with materials, but here are some go-tos:

For analog graphic facilitation work, I use Neulands markers on foam core board.
For digital graphic facilitation work, I use an iPad, Apple Pencil and Adobe Fresco, which allows me to work with scalable vector graphics. For other digital illustration, I also use photoshop and a Cintiq tablet.
For quick cartoons and on-the-go sketching, I have many fountain pens that I will use sporadically, but my go-tos are a Pilot Namiki Falcon with a soft extra fine nib, or a Kuretake 40 brush pen. De Atramentis document ink is *wonderful* for fountain pens. For larger paintings at home, a dip pen with Kuretake G nib, or a brush. I also love microns, but I hate to toss them and generate waste.
Watercolor: Winsor and Newton travel set, usually with a water brush pen.
Paper: Smooth bristol for inking, hot-press watercolor paper for painting.

I also love to experiment with new materials and techniques, so who knows what I might be using now. I also play with gouache, colored pencils, chalk pastels.
