Tatiana is a 39-year-old freelance illustrator from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Although she does not have a specific style, she admits that she loves to “draw and let my imagination create” instead. In fact, her art can change from day to day and she prefers “being free to choose different strokes and colors” depending on her mood. More than anything, she draws because she loves to share her work with others, and it is a way to connect with the world.

She finds inspiration in the beauty and “magical” quality of nature and she loves “watching the birds and the flowers.” Still, she often finds it difficult to focus and she can be torn between pursuing different projects. She is working on finding a balance in her life and confesses, “it's a very difficult task but I’m trying to focus on the important things.” However, Tatiana believes that even when it is difficult to focus, she must still “keep drawing” and trying new things. She encourages other artists with the motto “practice makes your work better, so draw whenever you can.”
