Hello!

​

My name is Sivan Buntova and I am an illustrator of children's books based in Israel. I grew up in Kazakhstan and Ukraine before settling in Israel, where I have lived for many years.

​

In Ukraine, I studied Fine Art and Decorative Art at Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture. In Israel, I graduated from the Graphic Design-Visual Communication Department of WIZO Haifa Academy of Design and Education.

 ​

I’ve illustrated a few children’s and adult books.    From 2018 to 2022, I illustrated for the French online literary magazine "Onuphrius." 

Also, I've created illustrations for the National Institute for Testing & Evaluation (Israel).

I regularly participate in group art and illustration exhibitions.

​

I am a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and the Israel Association of Illustrators.
