Tanja was born in Croatia. For most of her childhood life, she lived in Serbia.

Her passion for drawing started with her grandmother telling these elaborate stories. Grandmother would tell and Tanja would draw.

Now she is a published illustrator, represented by Advocate Art London, Happy Media New York and Book Prunelle Paris.

She works with self-publishing authors and has a deep knowledge of marketing, advertising and design in the area of children's books. Tanja also worked with publishing houses like Schwager & Steinlein, Rising Stars, Maveric Arts, and Yeon.

She is a proud mom of two. She spends her time learning, improving, and growing. Downtime spends in reading, riding a bike, horseback riding, and dancing.
