Valeria Docampo

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Valeria started to draw because she was driven by the desire to capture the poetry of everyday things such as the expressions of children and pets, the natural beauty of plants, the sound of dried autumn leaves under little feet, and the aroma of freshly cooked breakfast. She graduated from the University of Buenos Aires with a degree in Graphic Design & Visual Communication. After graduation, Valeria spent several years teaching at the University as she continued to develop her illustration work. Over the last 5 years she has dedicated herself to children’s illustration. In her work she uses both traditional and digital techniques and loves to explore innovative methods and materials to develop or enhance new expressive forms.
