HAND-PAINTED GOUACHE ILLUSTRATIONS & DESIGN

Welcome to my studio, based in the Czech Republic, where I write and illustrate fairy tales — slowly, carefully, and with deep love for the stories that stay with us long after childhood.

Fairy Tales in Bloom is an irregular series of beautifully printed magazines, each released when it is ready — crafted as a gift edition and wrapped with care. I'm able to create about three issues per year. The first issue, The Little Mermaid, will be released in late spring 2026.

You can follow the work in progress on my Instagram, where I share illustrations in different stages of their making, and here on the website in the photo gallery. If you'd like a quiet note before a new issue is released, you can subscribe to my newsletter — I send one email ahead of each publication.

Thank you for being here—may you find gentleness, kindness, and a quiet smile in my fairy-tale world.
