Maira Kalman

I was introduced to Maira books years ago by a friend, Since then she is my favorite Illustrator artist.

Maira Kalman was born in Tel Aviv and moved to New York with her family at the age of four. She has worked as a designer, author, illustrator and artist for more than thirty years without formal training. Her work is a narrative journal of her life and all its absurdities. She has written and illustrated twelve children’s books. She often illustrates for The New Yorker magazine. Sometimes it takes an illustrator artist to open my mind and heart. You can also enjoy her blog in the New York times ‘And the Pursuit of Happiness’
