Hi! I’m Elena, an illustrator and writer creating art and stories for kids who love adventure, animals, and a touch of mystery.
Whether I’m painting with watercolors or working digitally, I strive to bring as much color and life to the page as possible. My illustrations are full of whimsical details and little surprises for viewers to discover each time they look.
Outside of writing and illustrating, I’m pursuing a career in animal behavior research. I recently graduated with a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and a B.A. in Theatre from Rice University. While in college, I had the chance to work on projects ranging from training birds to studying how a guide dog’s early experiences shape its behavior. My knowledge of animals often finds its way into my art and stories— but blended with fun, fantastical elements.
