Alexandra Gregor

I'm Alexandra, a freelance Illustrator based in the Schwarzwald, Germany and Bordeaux, France. I draw for kids who need stories that feel true, and for organisations that want to make human topics visible, accessible, and worth caring about.

I focus especially on subjects that help nourish and connect humans with each other, themselves and to subjects needing attention. Subjects I especially care for include education, mental and physical health and wellbeing, social justice, communication and social impact between humans, as well as psychological impact of context and life changes: growing up, grief, shifting identities, social circles and the healing and coping that comes with it.

Illustrations reach beyond words: A story can help a child understand a feeling they can't name. A picture can make the internal world visible, make a difficult topic less frightening, a complex topic easier to comprehend, and make a reader feel seen and less alone in their own skin. An illustration can help bridge difficult gaps in communication, connect people to each other, and connect a viewer with a subject they, without visualisation, can not relate to.

My Mission:

I create illustrations to help humans, feelings, and complex subjects feel seen and understood. For children trying to understand their world, for readers navigating difficult feelings, for educators aiming to make information accessible, for organisations working to elevate stories that need to be told.
