When Pati Aguilera was a child, she liked to do all kinds of
crafts, draw, and spend a lot of time sorting and looking at her
colored pencils. She is Chilean, and has lived a large part of her
life in the city of Santiago, where she studied design and became a
book illustrator. Today she lives in the countryside with her
partner and two daughters, and is building her biggest craft
project of her life: her own house! Pati creates her artwork
digitally so she can change the composition and palette until she
achieves the desired balance and harmony.
