Manca is an illustrator who predominately works in traditional drawing techniques; watercolours and colorpencils. She graduated from Illustration at Academy of Fine Arts and Design Ljubljana in 2018.
The main source of inspiration for her work is Nature in its everchanging beauty and simplicity. Through drawing, she aims to capture this subtle beauty, aliveness and connection with nature.
Many of her drawings are inspired by travels and explorations of nature around us and within us.
