Bio: Fernanda grew up in Buenos Aires, and moved to New York City to study illustration at the School of Visual Arts. She received her BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in 2004. Her personal work focuses on universal matters, such as eating and loving ('Food Affair' series), laughing and absurdity ('Funny Petit' series) and arguing ('War of Words series'). Her commercial work borrows from her personal ideas and combines them with the message from each of the different assignments, always using subtlety, humor and motion in what has been said to be her whimsical bubble. Her medium is gouache and ink on paper and her favorite artist is Saul Steinberg. Her work has received over 50 awards worldwide, including gold and silver medals from the Society of Illustrators of New York and Los Angeles, first prize by Creative Futures (U.K.), D&AD (U.K.), Communication Arts, HOW, Graphis, American Illustration, Archive (Austria), Applied Arts (Canada), and Curvy (Australia) among others. Fernanda runs a lecture series at the Society of Illustrators of New York, teaches at SVA, and is the vice-president of the conference ICON6. She is an advisor to 3x3 Magazine, a writer for American Illustration, and a lecturer around the world. Fernanda has her own lines of illustrated T-shirts (GAP, US), porcelain kitchenware (Argentina), post-it notes (France), tea towels (Australia), and notebooks (Argentina). Her work can be seen in the book Prince Harming Syndrome, coming out at the end of 2009.
