Recently Rachael announced that she is now a proud member of the Lilla Rogers Studio. For the next few months we have decided to feature a regular weekly showcase from Lilla’s esteemed group of designers & Illustrators. Today we bring you the lovely Helen Dardik.

Helen Dardik is an illustrator based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada but originally from Odessa, Ukraine. Helen works under the name ‘One Lucky Helen.’ Helen has been creating for as long as she can remember, but didn’t fall in love with illustration until she studied graphic design in Canada in 1993. Helen is inspired by books, magazines, creative blogs & her children’s drawings. Most of Helen’s illustration are worked digitally using Adobe illustrator including surface pattern design, but she also creates paintings which are still within her signature style & soft toys. Helen has an impressive client list including American Girl, Better Homes & Gardens, Hallmark, Nickelodeon, Penguin UK & many more. For updates you can also follow Helen on Twitter @helen_dardik. Enjoy, Hannah.
