Ana Lobo
Illustrator
My name is Ana Lobo. I am a Portuguese-American illustrator currently based in Portugal. I love drawing cute, whimsical fantasy scenes with bright colors. I fell in love with illustrations when my parents first introduced me to children's books. I would spend hours looking at the details of the images, enchanted by the world created by the illustrators. As I grew up I continued to love the magical world of children's illustration. My goal is to create illustrations that create a sense of wonder in those viewing them.
