A ruggedly dashing pug poses in my arms.

Hello!

I’m Paulina, an illustrator and ceramicist from Cape Cod. You can catch me fervently exploring the ocean, salt marshes, and pine & oak forests with my adventurous pugs!

My work charismatically cherishes animals, wildlife, and environments through a variety of mediums including cut paper, ceramics, gouache, colored pencil, and photoshop. I create from a place where fantastical stories and characters in children’s picture books meet ecology and scientific illustration.

I studied Ceramics and Art History at Maine College of Art and continued my education about the world of Illustration & Visual Culture at Washington University in St. Louis.

If you have a creative inquiry, project proposal, or wish to discuss how handsome my pug is — please reach out to paulinazuckerman(at)gmail.com
