Eliza Colby is a children’s book illustrator, creative writer, poet, and walk enjoyer. Colby depicts the extraordinary every day, painting whimsical and vibrant scenes of a modern-day storybook.

Colby works primarily in traditional mediums of watercolor and colored pencil, creating tactile textures through a mixed media approach, focusing heavily on strong shape language, and exploring detail-oriented pattern making. Her illustrations are character-focused with an emphasis on personality and dynamic movement. Exploration and experimentation are pivotal to Colby’s process, and she is always looking for projects that challenge her craft.

Colby’s work is focused on illustration for publishing with an interest in children’s literature and picture books. She is eager to create vibrant stories for children that are educational, emotional, and worthwhile for young readers. Colby is looking to work with other writers and illustrators with the same goals, hoping to influence the Children’s entertainment scene towards people-focused, thought-provoking works.
