Tatiana Minina
Illustration
Tatiana was born in Vladikavkaz, Russia – city on the border with Georgia where two cultures, Russian and Ossetian, and two religions, Islam and Christianity intertwine seamlessly with remarkable harmony. Later on she moved to St.Petersburg, Russia thus jumping from one border to another. It was only logical to keep bouncing. She lives in Belchertown, Mass now.
Genre
She does children’s and adult book illustration as well as cover design, concept art, character design, greeting card design and editorial illustration.
