Ashley Mackenzie
Ashley Mackenzie is a #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator who loves the challenge of creating engaging conceptual illustrations, solving creative problems and finding new ways to navigate ideas with light, shapes and flow. When not drawing they can be found reading, knitting, seeking out nature or thinking about their next project.
Loves to draw: Dynamic compositions; complex topics in science and philosophy, like time, memory, biology, physics, language, and communication; thoughtful representations of neurodiversity, disability, queerness, and gender; fairy tales, folktales, mythology, and science fiction; animals, nature, birds, and fantasy creatures; visual investigations of the world around us, our place in it, and what it means to be human; and ideas that are dizzying to think about, seize the heart, and can help navigate our own lived experiences. Animal-centric fantasies are dream projects, black & white work is appealing, and a picture book would be a fresh and exciting challenge!
