Violeta Dabija

My name is Violeta Dabija and I'm a children's book illustrator. I was born and raised in Moldova and currently live in Washington, US.

I have a strong art background (a BA degree in Fine Arts/Graphic Design) and 20 years experience in illustration for children's books and surface design.

I love producing magic pictures, whimsical and unique environments for my characters. I keep my work simple and clear but I pay meticulous attention to detail. I work in both traditional and digital media and I also love combining traditional and digital techniques while retaining the traditional feel of the illustration.

I have illustrated about 35 children's books and my work has been featured in the 07/08 Edition of 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide
