Welcome!
My name is Ekaterina (Katya) Tabakh, and I’m very glad to be working in the field of fine art and children’s book illustration. I am the First-Place Winner of the SCBWI 2017 Tomie dePaola Illustration Award.
“Tabakh’s beautiful digital illustrations, completed in Procreate, appear hand-drawn, using a painterly style with vivid textures that encourage young readers to pore over the details.”
