My name is Ana Graça (she/her), but online I often go by Pixie Ana. I'm an illustrator and storyteller from the sunny city of Rio in Brazil, but now I'm based in London.
I specialise in children's illustrations and I love to create whimsical art filled with details and stories. I work at the intersection of traditional and digital as I often mix both techniques in my work. I'm passionate about using my art for social change, and I have written and illustrated two picture books about young carers for the Young Carers Alliance, backed by the Carers Trust UK.
I have also worked with global brands like Adobe, Winsor & Newton, Moft, Kores, and Shuttle Art.
I'm currently studying a Master's in Children's Book Illustration at Goldsmiths University, where I am perfecting my visual storytelling skills every day!
