olya mitchell
Olya is an illustrator and printmaker, drawn to capturing the tender, joyful and nostalgic moments of childhood. She graduated with an MA in Children’s Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art with distinction. She was a finalist at the Bologna Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition and for the Bologna Portfolio Award, as well as highly commended by the Macmillan Prize for Illustration.
When she’s not drawing or painting, she’ll be at the pictures, knitting a sweater, or hugging her fluffy Siberian cats.
