BioAlleanna Harris is a children's book illustrator and artist from Southern New Jersey.
Alleanna has been drawing for as long as she can remember. As a little kid, she would draw on every page of her mom’s legal pads, and doodle on notebooks at school and on the programs at church. She graduated from the University of the Arts with a BFA in animation with honors. During this time, she realized her love for illustration. Alleanna finds inspiration in the beauty of everyday things. In her work, she seeks to create images that are immersive, rich in color, and have a sense of warmth. |
Alleanna is represented by the Bright Agency, so if you want to work with her, please find the right contact here. Otherwise, you can email her here.
