ilustracije in risarije: Flower girl

I'm an illustrator and author (born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, in 1979), recipient of the Ezra Jack Keats Honor Award, and represented by the Stimola Literary Studio Agency. The wordless book I made for my master's thesis in 2016 won a student Award at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Ljubljana. It was published as ‘Kje si?’ by Miš Publishing in 2018, and received a special Prize as an outstanding wordless picture book at the 2018 Kristina Brenkova Awards. The rights were sold to several countries around the world.
