My name is Yassmine, and I am an illustrator who specializes in creating stories for children.

I received my BFA in Art & Design from the University of Michigan’s Stamps School of Art & Design in 2024. Additionally, I completed a semester-long study abroad program in illustration at the University of Arts London in 2023. I’m currently based out of the woods of Virginia!

Whether it's seeing the squirrels scurrying around in the fall or noticing an interesting tree, I'm constantly inspired by my everyday surroundings, which I use as a launching pad for developing more imaginative illustration ideas. My experiences as a Muslim and Arab also influence the kinds of stories and characters that I portray in my work. I paint all my illustrations in watercolor and frequently incorporate other media like graphite and colored pencil for line and detail work.

Outside of my work, you can find me reading, watching the birds, and doing stretches to knock out the aches and pains from drawing.

Please feel free to contact me at yassminelrewini@gmail.com for general and business inquiries, or just to say hello.

Thanks for stopping by!
