About me

Hello. It's Veronica!

I'm an illustrator, mum and art therapist living in Dunfermline, Scotland.
I was born in Spain in 1992 and for the past 3 years, I've been living in Scotland where I found the peace and tranquillity I was looking for.

Education

In 2015 I finished a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art in Madrid specializing in drawing. After a year volunteering abroad in the amazing and sometimes very cold Lithuania, I studied a Postgraduate in Art therapy in Madrid (2018).
I have worked as an artworker and I am trained in the development, planning and performance of art therapy activities and spare time workshops in different settings. While working as an art therapist with children and adults with disabilities I found out how important is playing when creating art so I try to keep my inner child active when painting.

I am always seeking for challenges and adventures. During 2017 and 2018 I participated as a live painter for the Spanish collective Arte Muhe where I had the wonderful experience of painting on the stage. This collective promotes different kinds of art made by women and they create events around Spain. I love doing things for the community and if that's through art it's much better.

I'm an enthusiastic and motivated individual, I love jumping into new projects that I haven't tried before. I recently had the experience of working on editorial illustrations for White Light Media. It was my first time doing that and I loved it.
In my spare time, I enjoy exploring nature, foraging mushrooms and using different plants as dyes for my tote bags. Since April 2021, I'm a mum, which has made me think about becoming a children's books illustrator. That is my ultimate goal. I'm currently working on producing a book for my two little rascals.
I am super passionate about nature, art and education and I'm always happy to chat about it - please feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or would like to work with me.

Thanks!
