Teresa Bellon was born in Albacete, Spain. She spent a few years wandering around life, studying different things and doing drawings just for her mum and dad, until she finally accepted her fate and enrolled in a course in Illustration in Madrid. She began working for national and international clients and has since held several exhibitions. Teresa doesn't stay at home waiting for inspiration, she sets out to find it; she travels, buys illustrated books and walks a lot in Madrid.
