About me

I’m a passionate children’s illustrator based in Alès, France, with roots in the Ural region of Russia. At 17, I moved to Prague, Czech Republic, where I earned a degree in English Culture (Anglophone Studies). After completing my studies, I worked as an English tutor and traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia—experiences that continue to inspire my creative work.

In 2023, I rediscovered my lifelong love for drawing and began pursuing illustration in earnest. I now work across a variety of mediums, including collage, mixed media, and digital tools such as Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop. Alongside my illustration practice, I also work as a pastel artist.

I’m currently studying under children's illustrator Aksinja La Paloma, whose guidance has been an important part of my artistic development.

I love crafting whimsical stories for children and I have a special interest in stop-motion animation. I’m constantly exploring new materials and techniques, allowing my imagination to lead the way.
