My name is Tanya Kuznetsova, I am a freelance illustrator,  received an MFA from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden with a semester placement in the Czech Republic and MA in Children’s Literature from the University of Glasgow.

My illustrations are hand drawn and processed in ProCreate and Photoshop. In my work I try to nurture empathy with the natural and animal world around us, showing its diversity and fragility. I draw children’s books, illustrations for editorials and patterns for textiles and packaging.

My projects have been awarded: short-listed finalist BCBF -Bologna fair (2010); honorable mention  ‘A well designed book’ Poland (2012); finalist CJ festival Korea (2013); finalist ‘Clairvoyants’ Poland (2019); selected for the unpublished picturebook showcase (2022), finalist of CCBF-China Shanghai fair (2023).
