Mercedes Lopez Charro lives on the beautiful Mediterranean coast of Spain where palm trees grow, vintage cars are seen daily on the school run and the streets are dotted with high-end boutiques. Sketching and doodling for as long as she can remember, her doodles have now become refined illustrations, sold as prints around the world. Trained as a graphic designer, Mercedes uses watercolor and pen and ink to create her colorful illustrations. When she is not drawing or painting, she can be found enjoying life with her English husband, and son Ollie.
