I am an illustrator and pixel artist from Brazil. Although I've been working as an artist for 15 years now, art has always been by secondary profession. I have a bachelor degree in biology and after getting my PhD in human pathology I came to the US to join the University of California as a postdoctoral scientist. In between experiments I've studied illustration from Justin Gerard's and Cory Godbey's courses at The Lamp Post Guild. I was fortunate enough to get feedback from Jon Hardesty abd Julie Bell on my art. I am transitioning areas and I'm happy to have gotten the chance to be part of the THU community.
