The Illustrator

Shining eyes and a smile on the face - that's what Tessa Rath wants to cause with her work. She gets inspired on walks through the forest, at the ocean and also during the times she spends with her family. She was born in Duisburg in 1978 and has loved drawing since her childhood. After school she studied art therapy and she works as a freelance illustrator today. She wouldn't want to change her life - "I have everything" is the answer to her dream of happiness.
