Hi, I’m Zhanna,

I’m a Devon based live event illustrator.
2025 was the year when Aya Illustration was officially launched offering live guest
illustration service to those who have a weak spot for art and want to treat their guests
to a unique, bespoke and emotive entertainment experience.

I aim to be the best at what I do every day, while providing a highly professional and
personal service from our first communication through to the post-event experience.
My goal is to make every client feel valued and cared for, ensuring that their experience
with Aya Illustration is as special and memorable as the artwork itself.
