​Hi, I'm Zeyda! Scroll down to see my work.

​I’m a Cuban-born author and illustrator based in Montreal. My stories are inspired by the basic needs of the human spirit: beauty, humour and nature. My illustrations, a blend of naïve style and tropical colours, combine the use of traditional and digital techniques. A former biologist, always attracted by literature and design, I completed a graphic design program in 2013 that allowed me to start a career in self-publishing. Several of my books, including Ce que mes chats m'ont appris (Lessons from my Cats) (2018) and Un paseo por La Habana (A Walk Through Havana) (2019), are available in various bookstores across Quebec.
