About Evie
Evie Zhu is an illustrator who is inspired by her travels around the world. She earned her MA in illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, the USA. She now works and lives in Bologna, Italy.
The name "Evie" derived from the Hebrew, the origin meaning of "Life". That is perhaps why she loves to use illustration as a tool to celebrate the wonder of life. As a former environmental designer, she is a nature lover and a big fan of animals with the curiosity and imagination of a child, which inspires her work in children’s illustration. She is also inspired by music. In her spare time, she loves talking to birds and having a meditation moment.
Evie loves food, handicrafts, travel, design and reading. She is recognized for her animal friends, and her bright and detailed illustration. Evie is interested in all kinds of projects.
