Brizida Magro is a Boulder, Colorado-based illustrator. Brizida holds a BFA in Illustration from Brigham Young University and an MFA in Graphic Design from Utah State University.
She is passionate about rock climbing, wandering the world and bringing stories to life. She loves to experiment with paper collage, gouache, china marker and digital. She enjoys simplicity, whimsy, wee characters, and collecting vintage papers.
Raised by her grandmother and sister, she spent her childhood in a small Portuguese fishing town. Growing up, they would often make things by hand as a family.
Her childhood has greatly influenced her current work, which blends together the innocence of vintage children’s art, the naiveté of folk art, and frolicking adventures through the great outdoors.
