My name is Alejandra Macouzet and I am a Mexican illustrator, I live and work in the city of Toronto, Canada, where  I have been pursuing my career as a children’s book illustrator.

My artwork is narrative, whimsical and playful; I love telling stories and sharing messages with my art, exploring themes like environmental care, equality, education, and child development.

I enjoy knowing that my illustrations have the power to bring positive emotions and warmth to the viewer.  I believe art should be for everyone to enjoy and connect with, and illustration has that power! I want my work to help inspire others to create.

I am always open to new projects and work opportunities, my main interest is children’s books but I have tons of experience on a variety of projects. I love creating illustrations for magazines, all types of books, products, and even apparel; I have made art for t-shirts, card decks, stationery, and even shoes!

I think it is necessary for everyone to connect with art from an early age and to continue enriching this connection in their adulthood. Art can teach us how to deal with emotions, and how to express negative or positive feelings proactively; I think everyone should be allowed and motivated to create. If we learn to create we will most likely stop destroying.
