Some silly facts about Tita:
I live in Glasgow with my husband and my two Maine Coon cats, Juca and Caju.
I mostly work with liquid watercolour, Sumi ink, and Japanese brushes.
Influences change, but at the moment I am loving Jean Julien, Linde Fass, and Christoph Niemann.
My childhood was especially great because of my great adventures with my younger brother.
My money usually gos to books, chocolate, dino merch and art supplies (not necessarily in that order).
I am a complete DINOSAUR geek!
Still trying to connect with my inner adult.
