My name is Anna Kaźmierak.
I am an illustrator and graphic designer based in Poland.
After completing a degree in graphic design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz, I began working as a graphic designer and illustrator. Heavily influenced by the aesthetics of folk art and children's painting, I play with vivid colors and textures to capture the world.
In addition to illustrating children’s books I also run folk art-inspired art workshops for children and adults.
I explore the traditional culture of the Polish countryside in various ways and draw artistic inspiration from it.
