Dao Linh is an illustrator and animator based in Brno, Czechia. Originally from Vietnam, her childhood was filled with tropical plants and colourful bugs. Nature and wildlife have since been her greatest inspiration. After moving to Europe, she attended art school with a specialisation in illustration and also got a degree in 2-D animation. Nowadays, she spends most of her time messing with watercolour and talking to her computer. When not drawing, she loves to travel, so you can randomly find her drinking tea at random places at a random time.
