“Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, will we help.” — Jane Goodall

Some stories don’t need magic to feel extraordinary.

This is a personal portfolio cover concept inspired by the incredible life of Jane Goodall— a scientist, conservationist, and storyteller whose work transformed the way we understand our relationship with the natural world.

As I continue developing my portfolio, I’ve been exploring lyrical nonfiction picture books and how illustration can evoke wonder, emotion, and curiosity while staying grounded in true stories. My goal with this piece was to create a cover that feels both timeless and inviting, celebrating a young Jane Goodall’s curiosity, courage, and remarkable connection with chimpanzees and the forests she came to know so well.

I’m grateful to be represented by and to continue growing as a children’s book illustrator through both publishing projects and personal portfolio work like this.

I’d love to hear what you think!

🌿 Personal portfolio piece.

🌸 THE COVER IS HERE! 🌸
The secret is finally out! I am absolutely thrilled to share the cover for Priya’s Not-So-Perfect Brand-New Outfit, written by the wonderful and published by! 🎨✨
This beautiful story is stitched straight from Srividhya’s own childhood memories of growing up with sibling hand-me-downs. It follows Priya, who is fed up with old clothes and saves up for a perfect, brand-new pavadai—only to learn that “new” isn’t always better, and “perfect” doesn’t really exist.
As an illustrator, there is nothing quite like capturing the texture, color, and emotion of a story rooted in culture and childhood nostalgia. Bringing Priya’s world, her family, and her colorful wardrobe to life—from traditional pavadais to casual tees—has been an absolute creative joy.
Thank you, Srividhya, for trusting me with your memories and for your incredibly kind words, and thank you to the wonderful team at Capstone!
🗓️ Mark your calendars! Priya arrives on bookshelves January 1, 2027.

Thank you for sharing this book with us! Decision to feature & opinions are our own. 💚
Meet Vaishnavi Dukhande, the incredibly talented illustrator of Alisha Goes to Kerala!! 💗 Vaishnavi is from Mumbai, where her love for art was born. The city’s vibrant energy, culture, and constant movement fuel her imagination. Growing up, her mother was a librarian, and she introduced Vaishnavi to the world of books, igniting her passion for literature. Little Vaishnavi was inspired by cartoons and illustrated books, and she spent hours recreating her favourite characters. After years of practice and self-study, she developed a whimsical and engaging style. While Vaishnavi primarily works digitally, she also enjoys creating oil paintings in her spare time and loves listening to podcasts while she works.

When not in her studio, Vaishnavi can be found trekking in the mountains or getting lost in a good fantasy, thriller novel. Her adventurous spirit inspires her creativity, allowing her to bring imaginative worlds to life through her illustrations.
The magic of Thrissur Pooram ✨🐘

One of the most spectacular festivals in Kerala — with beautifully decorated elephants, traditional music, and breathtaking fireworks.

This illustration is from the children’s book Alisha Goes to Kerala by, where Alisha experiences the colors, sounds, and joy of this incredible celebration.

Illustrating this scene was so much fun because of all the vibrant details and energy of the festival!

Illustrated a fairy tale… and it’s finally out! 🐸✨

I had the pleasure of illustrating The Frog Prince, a fun modern adaptation by Marilee Joy Mayfield.

From a golden ball falling into a pond to a very persistent frog showing up at the castle, this story is full of humor and an important reminder about keeping promises.

Seeing my illustrations printed in a real book never stops feeling magical. 💛

If you spot it somewhere, send me pictures!
One of the very first books I illustrated is finally out after 3 years 🥹🤌🏼✨

Did you know Rapunzel was actually named after a plant with purple flowers? 🌸

Rapunzel is the classic tale of a little girl with impossibly long hair — deeply loved by her parents, guarded by a not-so-kind witch, and eventually found by a prince.

This beautiful modern adaptation by bestselling author Marilee Joy Mayfield adds so much heart and richness to the story, and I had the absolute joy of bringing it to life through my illustrations.

Seeing my artwork printed, bound, and finally out in the world never stops feeling surreal. Grateful for this journey and for every little reader who will turn these pages 🤍✨
So excited to finally share this ✨

I illustrated Sticks and Stones, a winning entry in the North Street Book Prize, now featured on Winning Writers.

From the very first sketch, I knew this story needed softness and strength living on the same page. My goal was to visually capture what it feels like to be misunderstood — and then slowly show that quiet, powerful shift toward self-acceptance.

Every expression, every posture, every colour choice was intentional. I wanted children who see themselves in this story — especially those who feel different, neurodivergent, or “too much” — to feel held by the artwork before they even read the words.

As an illustrator, I care deeply about how images shape identity. Sometimes a child doesn’t need a lesson — they just need to see someone like them existing fully and confidently on the page.

I’m incredibly proud to have contributed visually to a story that’s now being recognised at this level.

Grateful. Honoured. And very happy this one is out in the world. 🤍
I can’t believe my illustrations are in Elle India! 🎉 This is such a dream come true, seeing my work in a magazine I’ve admired for years. I had the chance to illustrate for an article about female priests, a topic that feels so powerful and meaningful. It’s amazing to witness and capture women stepping into these sacred roles, changing the narrative around tradition and spirituality. Huge thanks to for making me a part of her incredible article! I’m so excited to share this with you all!

Hope I’m not too late to hop on this trend;)
