“Tabakh’s beautiful digital illustrations … appear hand-drawn, using a painterly style with vivid textures that encourage young readers to pore over the details.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
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.
