Dasha Riley

Illustration format: I work in Affinity Designer, Procreate and Photoshop.
Style: Inspired by Disney's mid-century era, my focus is on children’s book illustration,and educational books. I am a part time teaching assistant at a primary school, and the children’s joyful energy provides endless inspiration for my artwork.
Background: I have illustrated two childrens books with SCHOLASTIC, "My Body My Rules" (authored by Nicky Gill) and "Storm" (authored by Jane Bunn). I started my art career as a fine art photographer and have won both national and international awards in this field. My photography is represented by Lethbridge Gallery Brisbane and three of my works are in the permanent collection of MAMA Museum Albury. However, I have always had a love for illustration.
Studio Location: I live on the Sunshine Coast, QLD with my husband, two teenagers and three dogs.
