The author has lived and travelled extensively all over the world and currently resides in London. Beatriz is trilingual in English, Spanish and Italian, and possesses an excellent understanding of French in addition to basic German and Dutch. Her interest for all animals was apparent at a very early age and during her first years at university, she volunteered in a shark research organization (PADI qualified diver) where she was later appointed as member of the board. Beatriz was involved professionally in falconry while living in Spain in 2001, working as a falconer in bird control, training and successfully breeding birds of prey while also teaching falconry. Ars Accipitraria is a follow-up to her first award-winning publication, El Gran Desconocido: The Redtailed Hawk published in Spanish language in 2004 and winner of the UK´s British Print Design and Production Award for best digital book. Due to popular demand, this title will soon be available in English.
