Olga and Aleksey Ivanov are renowned children's book illustrators and classically trained commercial artists from Russia. This talented husband-and-wife team immigrated to the United States in 2002 and have been in high demand ever since. In all, the two have illustrated over 70 children's books, three of which have sold more than 100,000 copies. They work and live together with their son Ivan and fluffy Samoyed dog Misha in their artist studio in the foothills just outside of Denver, Colorado. Olga and Aleksey (better known in the publishing business and art world as "O&A Ivanovs") are very much a team. They met in art school in Moscow and have collaborated ever since. When they are not illustrating, they can be found hiking in the back country of the Colorado Rockies, taking in the inspiration that this amazing tableau has offered artists from around the world for centuries. At right are Olga & Aleksey's most recent projects, Pink Slippers: Mia and the Too Big Tutu by Robin Farley (HarperCollins) and Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse: Tucker's Beetle Band and Harry to the Rescue by Thea Feldman (Macmillan).
