Evie Zhu

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. 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. 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. She also loves watching at the sky with a vacant mind, wondering if there is another utopia world.

Evie enjoys drawing, photography, food, handicrafts, hand-lettering, travel, design and reading. She is recognized for her animal friends, and her bright and detailed illustration, usually with whimsy narratives. Evie is interested in all kinds of projects.
