Yelena Bryksenkova was born in Saint Petersburg, moved to the States as a child and studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art and Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts in Prague. Finding inspiration from her travels, nostalgic recollections and traditional Eastern European folk arts, Yelena has evolved into fantastic illustrator.

The young artist’s portfolio is already impressive and shines with her unique, whimsical and dreamy style. Her twitter feed is a great way to stay abreast of her latest works and adventures.
