My name is Olga Herrera. I am a Latinx Author and Illustrator of children's books. I earned my BFA from the Ringling College of Art and Design with a major in Illustration, graduating with honors. 

My work is colorful, whimsical, and fun.  I love drawing people! Kids, pets, and family members showing emotion, action, and storytelling narrative scenes.


I am co-founder and co-host of ILLOCHAT, a podcast about the journey of professional illustration.

 

I am also a member of the SCBWI and have the honor of winning the Regional Conference logo competition for two consecutive years (MD/DE/WV 2019 & 2020).  I have also been a mentor, teacher, and presenter for several events. 

Somewhere in between life, I teach illustration and creative writing for fiction picture books, and I offer mentorships and portfolio reviews.

I am bilingual and enjoy the mixture of my Cuban and Ecuadorian cultural roots.

Olga Herrera Author and Illustrator.

 

I grew up in Ecuador, a beautifully diverse country close to my heart. As a Florida native, I traded year-round summers for the fun of experiencing every season. I now live in the picturesque state of Maryland. With my husband, two children, and too many pets. 

You can find more illustrations and see what projects I am working on by following me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter
