A course by Elizabeth Builes Carmona
Nature is always present in the work of Colombian illustrator Elizabeth Builes. The only thing that overshadows her love for plants and landscapes is her passion for storytelling. She focuses her talent on narrative illustration for the publishing sector and children's literature.
