Hi! I‘m Ava, Let’s create something beautiful…

I’m a watercolor painter and illustrator with over ten years of experience. My art style is bright and narrative with a free-flowing composition that inspires exploration. Books and literature are an important aspect of any child’s development, and I feel it is critical to depict them in a way that fosters their wild imagination and aesthetic taste.

When I develop illustrations for a new children’s picture book, I relish the intricate process of visual storytelling ahead and love bringing an author’s stories to life. I work with all genres in a structured manner that guarantees the author’s satisfaction.

What my customers say about me

I have worked with @childrens.illustrations on my latest book ‘The Pumpkin Patch’. Ava is an extremely talented illustrator who uses watercolor. Each page she has created for the book is a work of art, particularly when she painted full landscapes. Ava used particular colors to fit with my theme and worked carefully with me to create the images. If I wanted any changes these were completed promptly (although to be honest little needed changing). I highly recommend this illustrator if you need creative talent to bring your book to life. I am now very proud of the collaboration as it has made the book look professional and has brought my characters to life. Thank you, Ava, I not only recommend but hope to work with you again.

Once the words to my second children’s book were written, I was fortunate enough to find the perfect illustrator to bring my words to life.  Thank you so much Ava Jahani for your absolutely breathtaking watercolor illustrations, they are the perfect finishing touch! Along with the illustrations, Ava completed the book formatting as well, so easy!  It was a pleasure working with Ava and I could not be more pleased with the finished product.

“While I was trying to figure out how I could find someone to create some beautiful digital illustrations of the ocean for my book, it didn’t take long before I got a DM on Instagram by Ava Jahani. Ever since we’ve interacted, we’ve formed a connection. We discussed how the art should look and the type of style to use to satisfy a child’s imagination. I requested 3 different drawings: an “open ocean” scene, a “hurricane” scene, and an “underwater toxic waste” scene. Within just a few days, the drawings were completed, and all of them look beautiful. The price was worth it, too. My experience with this incredible artist was wonderful — so wonderful that I’ll be willing to work with her again.”

I am glad I found Ava Jahani on Instagram. I fell in love with her illustrations on her newsfeed and decided to approach her about doing the artwork for my book Haikus for Sleepy Birds. Ava collaborated with me and provided me with beautiful illustrations in a very timely manner. I am extremely pleased with her work. You’ll find her very talented and easy to work with.

It was such a pleasure working with Ava as my illustrator for my first children’s book “Who Am I?.” Ava is an amazing illustrator. Not only does she exceed expectations bringing your vision to life, she is also patient and understanding, offering alternative suggestions/images to get it right. I couldn’t be happier with the final product. I highly recommend working with her. Thank you Ava!
