Pranami Bora is a self-taught illustrator based in northern Italy where she lives with her husband and two daughters. She was born in a little town in the northeast Indian state of Assam, home to more than hundred different ethnic groups with their own distinct identities and traditions. The diverse cultures and beauty of the nature that she grew up around has been her biggest influences.
Pranami has loved to draw since she was a child. Alongside her passion for art, she pursued a PhD in Computational Biology. Yet, she never let go of her creative side. In 2022, following the birth of her twin daughters she felt reconnected with her own childhood and discovered that her true passion was in children's illustrations. She mainly works digitally on Procreate, although she enjoys experimenting with watercolours, gouache and colour pencils from time to time.
She speaks Assamese, English, Hindi and Italian. When not drawing she can be found enjoying the outdoors, taking hikes in the mountains, reading and dancing. She is a member of the SCBWI, and is interested in picture book illustration projects.
