Ms_illustrator_London

Covering Message: 

Enthusiastic  and hard-working.  I love to work in a creative team, share my knowledge. I’m always willing to  learn more  in order to improve  my skills constantly. I created and led an illustration collective, and organized with them exhibitions, contests, markets and book projects. Thanks to this experience I developed   my knowledge to lead a group of people, organize events, involve people in activities and  organize projects in a very short time. My eventual career goal is to  use my art and skills to create something special.

I like everything is related to art. In my spare time, I love making  photos, visiting museums and discovering the beauty of the urban architecture simply walking in the streets. I love jazz and swing dancing.  I am an illustrator, therefore, I enjoy spending my time in libraries, drawing, learning new techniques and sharing my knowledge with other people and illustrators in order to improve my artistic and personal skills. 

I created a blog about learning English through illustrations, and life in London: http://sketchenglish.blogspot.co.uk/
