Based in Washington, DC, Nadia Fisher is a self-taught artist and illustrator striving to normalize inclusion in children’s books and the illustration world.  She wants children from all backgrounds to be able to see themselves in the books they read, and she strives to instill a sense of confidence and joy in them as well. When she is not drawing or painting, you can either find Nadia spending time with her husband and daughter, (probably biking or roller skating), or binge watching shows, documentaries, and movies
