About Me
Zalika Johnson - Freelance Digital Artist | Children’s Illustrator
I am a freelance digital artist specializing in children’s illustrations, dedicated to creating engaging stories that encourage young readers to explore their imaginations freely. My journey as an illustrator is deeply influenced by my travels and interactions with diverse communities, which have shaped my moral perspective and inspired my work around the concept of "Sent To Earth." I believe that we are all unique individuals on a journey filled with emotions, challenges, and growth that ultimately define who we are.
​
Throughout our journeys, the magic of imagination can sometimes fade. Through my illustrations, I aspire to nurture this magic, serving as a bridge to help navigate the complexities of the world. My bold storytelling and vibrant imagery invite viewers to recognize themselves and others, creating a space where obstacles can be viewed from a relatable and hopeful perspective. I want everyone to feel acknowledged enough to say to others, “I see you too.”
​
With over five years of experience working with children, I have developed workshops around the arts in partnership with local schools and organizations. My mission is to foster creativity and encourage every child's unique imagination, allowing them to thrive in an environment filled with possibility. By partnering with indie authors, organizations, and institutions, I strive to bring enchanting stories, workshops and creative memorable spaces to life, making a lasting impact on children and inspiring them to dream big.
