Hello! I'm Susana Viñolo, a Spanish author-illustrator living in the UK. I make art for children's books and educational products.
I studied Fine Arts in Granada (Spain) and completed two Master's at the University of the Basque Country (Spain). My studies in different creative disciplines gave me a broader understanding of art and helped me become a better illustrator.
In 2023, I studied the course Once Upon a Picture Book: Writing and Illustrating Stories with Beatrice Blue, which inspired me to start writing my own children's books. Nowadays, I am a student at Illustrawoop, an academy run by the illustrator Alicia Mas.
As a child, I was very imaginative and loved to write. Growing up, I realised I was better at telling stories with pictures than just words. I have a good memory of my childhood and recall the feeling of being small in an adult world, which I use as inspiration.
In my free time, you will find me reading, visiting an art museum or collecting vintage postcards.
I am currently seeking representation and open to work opportunities.
