About the Artist

Hi, I’m Indie Bloom. And I’m an illustrator passionate about bringing gentle stories, curious characters, and joyful moments to life.

My illustration style is whimsical and vibrant with a dreamy, storybook quality. I love creating artwork that feels warm, playful, and emotionally connected, especially for young readers.

I am particularly drawn to:

• Picture books with emotional connection
• Gentle humor and heart-led narratives
• Nature, imagination, and childhood wonder

I’m actively seeking representation with an agent who is excited about children’s publishing and long-term creative collaboration.

Illustration Style

My work is best described as:
Whimsical · Colorful · Detailed · Story-driven · Warm · Playful · Dreamy

Each piece is created with children, parents, and story-tellers in mind — aiming to feel magical, inviting and comforting.

I focus on:

• Strong character emotion
• Soft, inviting color palettes
• Narrative composition
• Illustrations that feel alive on the page
