For as long as she can remember, illustration has played a huge role in No‘l Claro's life. From her kindergarten obsession with copying Susan Clark's Health-Tex ads to a fascination with the Fiorucci angels in high school, she was convinced her destiny was to become an illustrator. Art school proved her wrong but did provide the opportunity to study and pursue a craft that would always keep her cozy with illustrators. Claro's session will be a look back at inspiration, sketchbooks, and work and an exploration of where that all led her.
