Inna Gertsberg

I was born in Moscow, former Soviet Union, where I grew up and studied art until age sixteen. In the late 1980's I immigrated with my family to the US, and later, to Canada, where I worked for many years as an advertising art director. I went back to my first love - art and painting! - and became a full-time illustrator just before the pandemic. My favourite thing to create is whimsical characters and monsters. Many of my monsters are based on other people's descriptions, as part of my ongoing Draw Me A Monster project. So far, I've created over a thousand monsters for people of all ages from all over the world!
