Brief description: Polina Gortman is a children's book illustrator living and working just outside of Seattle, Washington. She was raised on the banks of the Yenisey river in Siberia by her grandmother where she spent her childhood exploring taiga, feeding burdock leaves to cows, and making up stories about precarious adventures of toys lost in a vegetable garden. Now Polina balances her days between playing with art supplies in her studio, sketching outdoors and devouring books. To learn more about Polina, visitgortmanillustration.com.
