Illustrator Juanita Londoño Gaviria was born in Colombia amidst the mountains, surrounded by nature, birds, and flowers. She believes that what led her to illustration was bedtime stories--she wouldn't go to sleep if her parents didn't read from a storybook. Juanita studied fashion design in her hometown, Medellín, and graduated with a degree in Concept Art from Vancouver Film School.
