Matea Anić began to express herself through art since she was able to hold a pen. Growing up, she loved to come up with her own short stories. After graduating from the Faculty of Textile Technology in Zagreb, Croatia, and several years of work experience in the textile industry, she decided to realize her childhood dream of becoming an illustrator of children's books. Matea hopes that her art will inspire young readers and show them how dreams can come true. When not creating art, she spends time reading, cooking, or exploring the fascinating city streets on her bike.
