Hey there, I'm Désirée, a passionate Guatemalan illustrator enjoying life in the inspiring and pictoresque world around Antigua Guatemala.
I've got a thing for painting, illustrating, and animals – they just make my day! Having the opportunity to turn the things I love into my daily job makes me feel very priviledged.
Take a stroll through the galleries below, showcasing the fun projects I've had the joy of painting over the years. As the saying goes, a picture tells more than a thousand words. Enjoy!
