Vyara Boyadjieva

Vyara Boyadjieva is originally from Bulgaria, although she has had five other adoptive countries which have all contributed differently to her development as a visual narrator. In 2020, she graduated from the Children’s Book MA at the Cambridge School of Art, and was awarded “Student Illustrator of the Year Runner-Up” by the V&A Museum. She has been making picture books for a living since then. When not drawing, you could see her in the cinema halls, enjoying a good cappuccino and staring at people in a café, or you wouldn’t see her at all because she would be travelling (again).
