Our Favorite YA Artists

We all of us love a good artist! As an art school grad myself, I can confirm that artists are a ton of fun to be around when we’re not drowning in deadlines and existential angst. But even with the artsy angst, our creative brains and bizarre ideas will keep you on your toes! And while I may not have gone on to become an illustrator the way I thought I would (thank goodness for that, honestly, I adore my job), going to art school was one of the best things I’ve ever done! Truly, I loved every second of it! Okay, fine, not the all-nighters and constant charcoal under my nails. But aside from that it truly was magic. So in the spirit of celebrating the creative gene in all of us, here are some of my favorite YA artists who helped reignite my love of art!


Megan and Cass from My Last Summer with Cass


Jane from The P.L.A.I.N. Janes


Danny from Picture Us in the Light


Isobel from An Enchantment of Ravens


Ava from Most Likely


Clary Fray from City of Bones


James from The Hearts We Sold
