ABOUT SHIRLEY WAISMAN

HELLO :)
Nice to meet you.
I am an illustrator and the Illustrator Coordinator of SCBWI Israel.
I earned a BA in visual communication and worked as a TV game designer.
I was awarded a Research Scholarship in Japan for two years, where I discovered the wonderful world of Illustrating children’s books.
Nowadays, between illustrating books, I am finishing my MA in Art and Education and being the Illustrator Coordinator of SCBWI ISRAEL.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I love what I do – it’s the best career I could ask for, and when I see kids reading my books, smiling, it’s the biggest reward ever.
I usually draw with pencils and color on the computer, but I love to try new techniques, including ink, pastels, or even markers…
I always think about the most interesting way to describe the scene with humor – if I laugh and have fun while illustrating, I believe it passes on to viewers.
I also love to add small details or animals, like a mouse or a cat that the kids will attach to, and find new things every time…
