Hi, I am Diana Lucía!
The author and illustrator behind the books Carmelita Walks freely in Lake Tahoe and Carmelita Camina sin Prisa en Lake Tahoe. I grew up in Cali, Colombia, and moved to California about a decade ago.
I am a creator of curious things that I proudly call art. I enjoy exploring different mediums and styles. I also enjoy spending time mixing colors while drinking herbal tea!
Nature, my constant journeys, and the little things that make me happy inspire my work. I adore the idea that my artwork might bring joy to children and adults.
I brought the Carmelita book series to life in 2021 by merging my professional background in Social Communication and Early Childhood Education. I am glad I followed my heart and delighted to hear from parents and teachers that their children love both versions of my book.
