Hello, I’m Olya! I’m a Russian illustrator based in London.
Before I fell in love with illustration, I had a background in architecture and interior design. I treasure everyday memories and the people I meet along the way, so I try to bring a slice of life to my artwork.

I love drawing from life as well as playing with colour, texture and shapes. I mostly work by hand with pastels, crayons and paint adding textures and building shapes. I’m also a printmaker and I really enjoy the process of making images through the medium of screen printing.

Always somewhere between London and Cambridge, I constantly try to find new sources of inspiration in music, cinematography, and vintage illustration.  You can often find me in the cinema, when i’m not knitting or hugging my cats.
