Welcome! My name is Ekaterina (Katya) Tabakh, and I’m very glad to be working in the field of fine art and children’s book illustration. I am the First-Place Winner of the SCBWI 2017 Tomie dePaola Illustration Award. My Papa My Prince picturebook with my illustrations received a Starred review and it was also recognized as one of the Best Indie Books of the Year 2022 by Kirkus Reviews.
