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.
