From a very young age in Mumbai, India, Dharmali Patel knew that she would be drawing, painting, or animating for her entire life. By age 6, her parents understood that drawing, crafting and all things creative was going to light her path, and ultimately lead her to her career as a visual artist. After mastering crayons, pastels, and finger paints... Dharmali made her way to Mumbai-Rachna Sansad School of Applied Arts, majoring in Illustration. She studied further at Vancouver Film School, where she earned her Bachelors in 2D Classical animation. In the past 20 years, she has worn the hats of Animation Director, Art Director, Visual Development Artist, Designer, and Illustrator. Every day, she loves to make art that is visually pleasing and engaging for people of all ages. Dharmali is honored that authors trust her with their beautiful words, and allow her to visually conceive the world and characters that ultimately become their books. She hopes that her imagery will inspire young minds with beautiful design, provocative lighting, and emotive characterizations that encourage a love of reading and beautiful art. Currently, Dharmali lives and works in Toronto. She is represented by Illustration Online LLC.
Reviews
"Clear and simple information, as well as illustrations, help young readers learn the facts and science along with the titular duo. Rich descriptions tell what volcanoes look like and bring the story to life. Those new to the series will still be able to follow the plot, as a brief summary is provided at the beginning about where the magic stick came from, and where Asha and Baz have traveled before. Patel's gray-scale, cartoonlike illustrations follow the young adventurers through the story. Back matter includes volcano facts, discussion points, and how to do your own Great Volcano Challenge." -- 6 STEM titles for new readers Transitional Spotlight-- "School Library Journal"
