Born in La Plata, Argentina, Maine Diaz grew up drawing and painting. At the age of 16 she began animating and working in films. She went on to enroll in Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) and then to illustrate children’s story books and educational books. Currently, Maine lives in a tiny green house where she spends time with her two cats, Chula and Lola. She loves tending her garden while Chula eats all the plants and Lola jumps and climbs the trees. Maine prefers to be barefoot while painting and singing in her studio. When not illustrating, she also enjoys swimming, writing, and taking photos.
