Hello friends! :-)
My name is Liliia Ivolha and I am a Web and Media Marketing Manager based in Ottawa, Canada.
I have worked as a Professor at Algonquin College in Canada and at the National Academy of Arts in Ukraine, alongside building a career as a 2D Animator with over three years of experience in commercial animation in Canada.
With more than 12 years of experience as an Illustrator and Graphic Designer, I have developed strong expertise in creating advertisements, corporate materials, illustrations, easel paintings, and academic drawings across both Canada and Ukraine.
My teaching experience includes over three years of instructing human figure drawing, supported by a deep understanding of anatomy and visual form. This foundation allows me to create work that ranges from highly realistic anatomical illustrations to simplified, conceptual visual forms. I have also presented my artwork in several solo exhibitions.
Today, in addition to my professional work, I am a mother and an active participant in community life in Ottawa.
If you are interested in my work, I would be glad to connect.
