Ligia Ortega

Ligia has been drawing since she could hold a pencil. In addition to drawing and painting, she started coloring occasionally for stress relief in the evenings while working a demanding management position several years ago.

Ligia has a few series published: The Coloring Gifts™ book series combines coloring for enjoyment with taking time to pause and reflect about positive things in our busy lives. The Vintage Grayscale Adult Coloring Book series showcase some of her favorite vintage illustrators - their work is lovingly restored and then using a unique process, they are made into grayscale specifically for coloring. The simple series has Kaleidoscope and Mandala books with bold lines and larger spaces - these books are also available as a half size books with simple fun designs that can be finished in one sitting.

In addition to these coloring books, Ligia has also published the Colorist Palette Reference book, a resource for colorists to test new palettes and techniques and to keep a record of color blends and combinations.

Share your colored pages, get coloring tips, and check out progress of the next volumes of the series on her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ColoringPress

In addition to her own coloring books, Ligia is the cover artist for both editions of the Adult Coloring Book Treasury series and for the collective book Coloring for Daniel. She also contributed work to all three of these collaborative books.

Ligia lives in Florida with her two children, a mini dachshund, and a fluffy kitty.
