I fell in love with children’s illustration while taking a digital art course at Oakland University. After graduating in 2023, I now spend my time creating warm, comforting illustrations for kidlit books. My favorite projects to work on are picture and board books, but I also have a soft spot for middle-grade chapter books. When I’m not drawing, you can usually find me doing some sort of “grandma” craft hobby (lately knitting and cross-stitch), or reading a cozy mystery book!

I’m Emily Paige (she/her), a Michigan-based children’s illustrator and felt artist bringing whimsical stories to life for young readers. I create my work using two approaches: entirely digital and a combination of digital illustration with hand-cut felt elements.
