Hanna Du PlessisHanna du Plessis illustrated her first children's story when she was in her early twenties. Through the following years she's never stopped sketching, painting, and creating expressions of wonder and the full range of human emotions. She's worked as n architect, a designer, a teacher, a dancer. Born under apartheid in South Africa, then living in the US, she has dedicated her life to collaboration toward equitable and sustainable life for all.
