Hi there!
Sofie Kenens is a freelance illustrator, who loves to create playful and colorful illustrations with quirky characters. She always strives to blend storytelling with humor and create a bright and engaging atmosphere in her illustrations.
Sofie is the author-illustrator of the LUNA boardbook-series and her illustrations can be found worldwide in over 50 books (lift-the-flap books are her favorite!), as well in magazines, as stickers, puzzles and toys. She works digitally in procreate.
Sofie specialises in the children's publishing industry and has had the privilege to work with publishers from all over the world, such as: Harper Collins, Cottage Door Press, Auzou Editions, Pelckmans uitgeverij, Langue au chat , Milan Editions, Editions Lito, children’s magazines Doremi & Doremini, Ravensburger, Ballon Media, Fleurus Editions, … & many more.
Originally from Belgium, Sofie lives in the spanish sierra nevada with her husband, their 3 adventurous dogs, 1 no-nonsense cat and an elusive family of mountain goats. Living in an ancient chestnut forest with waterfalls, surrounded by wildlife, sparks her imagination every day.
When she’s not drawing, you will find her taking care of the little seedlings in her plant-nursery or enjoying the surroundings with her boyfriend and fluffs.
SOFIE LOVES early summer mornings, all things cryptozoologic & creepy (with a pretty intense bigfoot fascination), flannel in all shapes and sizes, falling snow, western themed movies, all things christmas and big roadtrip adventures (Let’s see the world!).
Originally from Beringen in Belgium, Sofie now lives and works in Andalusia, Spain.
