Almira Akin is an Istanbul born illustrator based in Long Beach. Her work is inspired by animals and people she has come across in life. Almira primarily works digitally, but she also enjoys working with watercolor. Since storytelling plays a key role in her illustrations, she uses vibrant colors to express the emotions and relationships between her characters.
Almira plans on writing and illustrating her own children’s books alongside a career in visual development creating backgrounds and characters. In her spare time, Almira enjoys going outside to paint and spending time with her family and friends.
