Waisman

I’m a freelance illustrator with more than 50 published picture books. My illustrations have appeared in children's magazines and various illustration projects, and my work has been shown in art exhibitions.

I’m currently the Illustrator Coordinator of my regional chapter of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).

I have a BA in Art and Education from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and an MA in Education from Kibbutzim College.
early in my career, I was awarded a two-year research scholarship from Kyushu University to study Japanese children's book illustration.

I’m currently developing my own stories as a writer-illustrator, and hope to find
a home for them in the publishing world soon.
