Mariana is a storyteller and comics illustrator from Mexico City. She currently lives in California, where she makes comics, children’s books, not-great ceramics, and silkscreen printing. 

Before making art, Mariana was a Political Scientist, and now she tries to combine both. For her, personal stories are always impacted by the social context and the political changes around us. Some issues that she likes to talk about are immigration, healthcare, and gender equality. 

She loves big cities, walks in the park, museums, and good food. 

She is a dog person and also a proud cat lady.
