Ayang Cempaka

As well as illustrating storybooks, Ayang runs a small studio in Indonesia producing leather bags, hand-embroidered clutches, merchandise and stationery with her sister. At a much larger scale, her vibrant illustrations have appeared on Transjakarta buses traversing the Indonesian capital. After moving to Dubai, she took her illustration skills online attracting top clients around the world. Inspired by vintage children's books illustrators like Alain Grée, Mary Blair, Dahlov Ipcar and Alice and Martin Provensen, Ayang remains heavily influenced by the wildlife and creative culture of her native Indonesia.
