Luciana Navarro Powell has created art since childhood and became a full-time illustrator in 2001. She moved from watercolor and acrylic paints to the digital brush--loving the freedom and the possibilities of experimentation with textures--and then to mixed media, incorporating photographs and scanned objects with traditional techniques in a digital melting pot.
