Rebecca Solow

Location: US Web: www.rebeccasolow.com Email: solowillustration@yahoo.com media: Mixed media Rebecca has been illustrating young adult fantasy book covers, children’s books and magazine stories since 2006. “I take inspiration from folk and fairy tales from around the world, and especially stories with strong and positive female characters,” she says.

Her Russian heritage means she’s familiar with the art and history of eastern Europe, which also informs her art: “I use acrylic and tinted gesso to paint over detailed graphite drawings.” She enjoys living next to the National Zoo in Washington, DC, and can often be found visiting her animal neighbours.
