Juanita is a children’s book illustrator.

​

She likes drawing characters and environments in vibrant colors, textured details and emotions to bring people on a journey. Juanita relishes seeing life through the lens of magic and whimsy. With her keen eye for detail and a love for storytelling, she strives to create images that will capture the imagination of all readers.

​

As a child, Juanita was very fond of bed time stories and recreating with a pencil the images she found on her favorite children’s books. Much of her work now draws inspiration from those same books she enjoyed as a kid.

​

When she is not illustrating or writing you might find her dancing, singing, learning about astrology or taking a nap under the sun.
