Anca Sandu was born in the flatlands of eastern Romania. Her grandma declared her a "drawer" of perfect circles at age 2. Heeding the call to be the artist of the family, she discovered in art school that her passion for drawing helped her overcome her introversion. She now enjoys engaging most humans nearly as much as drawing them. Anca lives in Beaverton, OR, along with her husband and their ever expanding book collection.
