My name is Anastasiia Lazareva,



Also known as Naya – a paper and pencils ravenous consumer. Someone who loves tasting books, tea and watercolor.

​

Children's books are an art form that will forever hold wonder for me. My imagination, use of depth and texture brings my characters to live and whether they are human, animal or make-believe I take them on amazing adventures. I feel lucky to be able to drawing pictures and making up stories every day.

​

I live with two  creative cats, my lovely husband and little son in the center of invincibility of Europe – in Kyiv, Ukraine. I graduated in Graphic design and Book illustration at the Publishing and Printing Institute (Kyiv). When I'm not working, I enjoy walking with my family in forest, gardening, reading books, baking cookies  and playing with my cats and son.
