About the Illustrator

Hanna Barczyk was born in Germany and currently divides her time between New York City and Toronto. She creates conceptual illustrations for major publications such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, among many others.

Inspired by her family's Hungarian folk art traditions, memories, love, music, movement, and a passion for dance, Hanna's illustrations brim with emotional truth, bold and delicate at the same time.

Hanna has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, Creative Quarterly and 3x3 (Magazine of Contemporary Illustration). She is the recipient of the Melville White Award, and has been the subject of a feature in Communication Arts Magazine.

Perfectly Awkward Tales are adapted from inspiring fairy tales by Princess Ivana (a real princess), Magdalene Smith, and Marisa Smith. Gorgeous full-page illustrations by Hanna Barczyk, whose work has appeared in The New Yorker and The New York Times.
