I`m a picture book illustrator and this is my story
I’m a children’s book illustrator with over 9 years of experience, and my journey into illustration has been anything but ordinary. I was born and raised in Belarus and now live with my family in the charming town of Wroclaw, Poland. Like many children, I loved drawing—but I never imagined that one day I’d turn that childhood joy into my career.
Life, as it often does, surprised me. At the age of 27, I made a bold decision to leave my previous career path behind and follow what truly made my heart beat faster: drawing.
At first I worked with just a pencil and paper. But I felt that I needed a greater challenge. That’s why I started exploring different types of materials—and everything changed. They were not just tools, but an entirely new way of bringing warmth, texture, and emotion into every illustration.

I am fond of illustrating, I have a great love for what I do

I started drawing with watercolors, gouache and colored pencils, pastel crayons. Illustrations made with traditional materials still make me feel delightful and enthusiastic. Perhaps in the near future, I will use traditional materials in my work as well.
But today I prefer to draw all my projects in digital art programs, and I get a lot of pleasure from it. My main assistants are the tablet Wacom for Photoshop illustrations and my iPad which I use to draw in Procreate.

More than children's books
I create my characters and stories gently and responsibly so that they will touch your heart. For me each character I work with is like my own child with their unique personality. My characters get into different situations, solve their problems, make decisions and get their experience. Therefore, children will be deeply interested in them. I will be really happy if my illustrations make you smile.
