I’m Valeria, a Venezuelan author and illustrator based in Florida. I love playing with texture, vibrant colors, and fun shapes.

I’m looking for fun new projects: picture books, board books, and covers!

I’m so happy I was able to find amazing peer critique groups at #scbwisummer25 excited for future projects

I can see me in there 😆 thanks for great information!

Super excited to be attending #scbwisummer25 this is my first conference 🤗

I’m officially a member of SCBWI 🥳 Cannot wait for their summer virtual conference

I cannot wait for the Miami Book Fair!!

You can catch me at all the literary panels this weekend at Florida Supercon! Very excited to connect with other authors

Guess who’s half way through The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo 😎

I wanted to highlight one of my favorite pieces I’ve worked on lately. So many cultural aspects of my ethnicity!

Guacamayas, chigüires, cuatro, joropo and so much more.

My next picture book is about a girl, that just like me, immigrated at a young age.
