Hello! My name is Ellie Meyer, and I am a self-taught illustrator and artist. I have a passion for creating artwork that captures the wonder and imagination of children's literature. My experience includes illustrating a children's field journal, where I created detailed drawings by hand using a simple blue ballpoint pen. This work required precision, patience, and a strong eye for detail while maintaining a style that was engaging and accessible for young readers. I specialize in watercolor illustration and am particularly drawn to the whimsical, nostalgic quality it brings to children's books. Yet, I also enjoy working across a wide range of traditional art mediums. My artistic practice includes watercolor, acrylic paint, oil paint, oil pastels, colored pencil, graphite, ink, and other drawing and painting techniques. By exploring different mediums it allows me to adapt my style to the needs of each project while continually expanding my creative skills. I strive to create illustrations that inspire exploration, storytelling, and a lasting connection with readers of all ages.
