Sharanya Kunnath is an illustrator, graphic designer and author, who has drawn for as long as she can remember ? on walls and in the margins of textbooks. She has spent varying periods of her life in Doha, Chennai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Bournemouth, and is now back in Bengaluru, which she considers a homecoming. She lives in the outskirts of the city, where the nearby landscape and geography have influenced her love for ancient temples, architecture and cows. Her illustrations have appeared across the covers and insides of multiple books. Her newest fascination is identifying insects and birds.
