Hi! I’m Kamila - a queer Polish illustrator and comics artist based in Wales, UK. My playful designs are often inspired by dreams and folklore, with much of my work focused on reviving and re-imagining elements of my Slavic heritage.

I’m the author of an award-winning graphic novel Rusalka: Whispers of the Forest. My short comics have also appeared in the anthologies Let Her Be Evil, Boxes #2 and The Dark Chronicles of Cymru.
