Olga Urbanowicz

Meet Olga Urbanowicz. Originally from Poland, Olga is now happily settled in a cozy small town just outside of Montreal, Canada. After earning her degree in Illustration & Design at Dawson College, she dove into the vibrant world of video games, where she has been for the past 14 years. She has worked with big names like Disney and Popcap, and has led several artist teams as an Art Director. Olga's creative journey took an exciting turn about 4 years ago, when she discovered her love for children's book illustration during a collaborative project with a friend. Using digital tools like Photoshop and Procreate alongside traditional mediums like gouache and colored pencils, Olga has a true passion for bringing stories to life for kids through her illustrations. When she's not busy illustrating, you can find Olga curled up in the local library, losing herself in piles of enchanting children's books. And let's not forget her wild garden – a haven for all sorts of chirping birds and curious critters. She enjoys plein air sketching as well as a fascination with both herbology and gardening. Olga is passionate about illustrating animals, nature and vibrant characters interacting with the natural world.
