About me

Hi I'm Maria del Carmen Smith, a freelance illustrator, animator and designer. I Studied Graphic Arts at LJMU Academy of arts and design. I love to create characters and usually incorporate cheerful and bright palettes in my work. I come from Peru but now live and work in Liverpool. My favourite artists are Matisse, Van Gogh, Degas, Klimt, Kandinsky and Paul Gauguin. Favourite writers: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Mario Vargas Llosa and Isabel Allende. Favourite illustrators: Lorena Alvarez, Natali sejuro, Candice Dillhoff. Favourite animator: Tim Burton.

I love traditional media and these days I like to combine traditional and digital techniques. The main programs I use are Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design and Flash.

Currently I am seeking freelance work and looking for an Artist Rep.
Feel free to e-mail me if you've got a project in mind.
