Thalita Dol is a “carioca” from Rio de Janeiro who decided to make Vancouver her home. She lives with her husband and two joyful puddle-jumper daughters, and a baby will soon join their pack. She attended Escola de Artes Visuais Parque Lage (EAV-RJ) and the University of Fine Arts (EBA – UFRJ), but soon discovered she really needed to follow her heart and focus on her eternal passion, children’s illustration. She has been loving it ever since!
