I am a daughter of the winds and waters. A gypsy, a witch, a storyteller. My Sun sign is Gemini, with Leo rising and Moon in Scorpio, and I was born in the year of the Dog. My number is 7, and my tarot arcane is the 2, The Priestess. I am a daughter of Yemanja, the sea goddess, and Obaluae, god of the dead, in the African-Brazilian mythology. I am also an artist, a stars reader, a dreamer and a mother.

My name is Patricia. I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I've been lived during all my life until moving to the United States. I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and, as long as I grew up, my interest in art in general was increasing as much as I perceived it was a perfect channel to express my ideas and thoughts. I've attended drawing classes for a couple years and, as well as drawing, I’ve dedicated myself to a large range of artistical possibilities: dance, drama, music, design and literature. I end up graduating in fashion design, having had a good training in human figure drawing and representation techniques. I’ve worked for several years as a web and graphic designer, as both freelance and employee in communication companies, and also teaching drama and body expression as a paralel activity. Later, I got a degree in Art Education/Art History from the Rio de Janeiro State University, working later as an Art Educator in regular schools and art courses. It was just after leaving Brazil that I began to think more seriously in a career on illustration, and now here I am... Summonning dreams and old godesses, casting spells of colors, unveiling the invisible. Attempting to reunite all the languages I've learn in images; and if I can at least touch your heart with them, my function as artist is accomplished.
