Biography

Priit Rea graduated in design from the Estonian Academy of Arts in 1980. He is a member of the Estonian Artist’s Association and the Estonian Graphic Designers’ Association. Rea is also the art director of the children’s magazine Täheke.

At some point I wanted to become a sailor and travel to far-away lands but my mother enrolled me in an art orientated school and from there I ended up studying at the Estonian Academy of Arts. After graduating I worked at a design office for a few years, developing wooden products. Then I ended up working for a publishing house that also published children’s books. Since I loved to draw, my career as a book illustrator began.
