Gisela Bohórquez fell in love with drawing when her parents gave her a huge box of crayons at three years old. Born and raised in Colombia, she was always surrounded by her uncle Jairo's amazing books and her father's drawings. At school, she used to sell little stickers with animals she drew herself. Ever since, Gisela knew she wanted to be an artist and work with shapes and colors. She studied Graphic Design in college, where she learned digital illustration and fell in love with those techniques. Then, Gisela's professional journey led her to Barcelona, where she perfected her children's illustrations.
