Hello, I'm Elena Sukhareva, an illustrator and artist based in Nafplion, Greece. I enjoy traditional media like pencil, oil pastel, watercolor, gouache, and charcoal, and I love bringing characters to life for children's books and stories. I also plan to expand into digital illustration. In the past I worked as a nurse at a city psychiatric hospital in Ufa, and later owned a handmade goods shop in Nafplion, where I developed my drawing, sculpting, and puppet making skills and created many handmade items. I am eager to take on new projects in illustration, design, and storytelling.
