Mava is an author and illustrator living in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Her work is in part influenced by the old books, toys, and cartoons she liked as a kid, and in part by her love for animals and history, which play a big role in inspiring her work. When she's not drawing, she spends her free time watching movies, caring for her dogs (Brioche, Butter, and Flour), baking sourdough, and growing a dangerously large vinyl collection.
