Alaya Idrees

My name is Alaya Idrees. I am a self-taught illustrator who lives in Lahore, Pakistan. As a person, i have always been in love with stories and art but my love for the creatives became stronger when i was suffering from PTSD. I felt alone by many people but fantasy acted as my constant companion. Therefore, i have started this journey in the arts where artists such as Iris Compiet, Brian Froud and John Howe inspire me. I hope to work in visual development and create my own book where i can showcase Pakistani- Islamic mythologies and folktales. My social media handle on instagram is: wordsnymph
