About
Claudia Marianno is an illustrator from Sao Paulo, Brazil. She holds a BA degree in Architecture and Urbanism from the University of Sao Paulo (but she has never worked as an architect!).
Dyslexia meant she struggled with communication as a child and she started drawing to express herself without words. She found her love of books at 10, and was hooked on everything from Machado de Assis to Agatha Christie.
Claudia has a passion for creating detailed, urban, crowded scenes. She’s obsessed with Victorian England and the impressionism movements.
She now lives with her stray cats in Indaiatuba, a countryside town so small that it doesn't have a single bookstore!
Claudia Marianno is represented by Advocate Art
