Her personal life took her from Venezuela to Spain, France, Italy, Mexico and back to the U.S.
Nestares’ multicultural background and diverse international experiences have enriched her three previous successful books: Taking Flight, The Art of Falconry and Tick-Tock Blue Planet. Her inspiration comes from listening and sourcing her energy from the people who surround her as they unknowingly become part of her tale. These conversations and exchanges all come together in her evolving palette. “Many people think that creativity is a lighting bolt, but I think it comes in whispers.” These whispers that Nestares continues to explore and interpret will further enrich her body of work with many projects to come.view less
