Hi, I’m Fatima Mohamed Baharia, a children’s book illustrator based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I love creating colorful, expressive artwork that helps stories feel alive for young readers—through clear visual storytelling, memorable character design, and engaging scenes that match children’s emotions and imagination.
I work digitally using tools like Procreate and Adobe Illustrator, and I enjoy turning educational and magazine topics into visuals that feel friendly and age-appropriate. From freelance children’s story illustrations to ongoing work for Tut Magazine for Kids, my goal is always the same: bring personality, warmth, and strong storytelling into every page.
