Emilia is a comic artist and writer, born and raised in Ukraine, and migrated to Canada about 10 years ago. She currently resides in Ontario with her partner and two cats. Emilia takes inspiration from her personal experiences and from the world around her to create artworks that can be relatable and can bring people some joy and comfort. She’s created a zine called Gently — a sketch collection and gentle tips for artists and creators. With projects in the works entitled Oriana: The Forgotten Deities and Second Half, Emilia’s latest graphic novel is her autobio graphic novel Be Yourself! Oh, not like that…

Be Yourself! Oh, not like that… is described as “an exploration of Emilia’s journey from childhood to the present day, navigating the world through the lens of autism. From the challenges of an adult diagnosis to the struggle of fitting into society’s molds, always being told to be more genuine and to “be myself”, but being told the way she did it was never right. This is a narrative self-discovery of being an “alien” in a world that often seems foreign, in a society that has not been built for my brain. Emilia shares the highs, lows, and the extraordinary moments that define her own experience.
