Hi friends! This year wasn’t always easy, but it was meaningful. It gave me space to reflect, grow, and move forward - sometimes slowly, but always with purpose🙏🏼 Along the way, a lot of good things happened. Two books were completed, a collection of puzzles and educational cards came to life. And most importantly, I kept creating and following my path. I’m deeply grateful for the lessons and the people who were part of this journey 🤍 Entering the new year with even more clarity and inspiration🧚🏼‍♀️ By the way, I’m open for commissions — feel very welcome ✨ Thanks everyone for being here, your support always means a world to me!🥰 Swipe to see #artvsartist of the previous year❤️ #artvsartist2025 #kidlitillustrator #illustrator

Hi friends! A tiny carefree froggy hopped by to say hello to you all! 🐸✨ I haven’t drawn frogs in such a long time, so thank you for this experience and for this adorable #dtiys, @didisunshine_ 💚 . #didi2k #kidlitartpostcard #kidsillustration #childrensillustration

Hi friends! Here’s my version of the girl with fragrant mimosa. She feels so full of spring — and I’m still waiting for the warmth to arrive. Can you imagine, just a couple of days ago we had snow again?🥶 So unusual for our climate. Thank you @yana_kozak_illustrator for this wonderful #dtiys!💞 . . #drawthisinyourstyle #childrensbookillustration #dtiyschallenge #yanakozakdtiys

Hi friends! I just realized I never posted this sweet little girl from the lovely #dtiys by @amanda.ninji_illustration , even though it’s already way too warm for hats and scarves. Well… Maybe the fact that it’s gotten colder in my city will excuse me 😄 Either way, I hope you like her. Have a lovely day!🌿 . . #AmandaNinjiFeb26 #coloursofspring #kidlitart #kidsbookillustration

Hi friends, When I first saw this adorable #dtiys by @lucie.bee.illustrates , I immediately knew two things: first, that I wanted to draw it in my own style, and second - this is my spring bunny, planting flowers, for the very first prompt of the April challenge #SpringStorybookMagic2026 🌸 For a perfect match, I swapped the goose for a bunny, haha🐰 Hope you like it!💞 .

Hi, friends! This is my third and final post for the #VintageBookWeek, and the prompt is “I Am a Bunny.” It’s been incredibly fun to reimagine vintage children’s book covers, so warm and full of childhood nostalgia!🥰🧸 I hope you like my little bunny, and if you swipe➡️, you’ll see the process of creating this cover 🐰🩷 .
