Good Housekeeping Magazine commission Dina Ruzha for a set of illustrations remembering 9/11.

The article is a first-person narrative from a teacher who worked in Lower Manhattan during the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York. And on the 20th anniversary, the magazine shares her story about how she navigated the unprecedented attack and led her kids to safety.

Dina's expressive artworks include an illustrated map of Lower Manhattan highlighting the route that the teacher and students walked, a memorial plaque with text honouring the school, and a portrait of the teacher.

An illustrated map of St. Petersburg, Russia, highlights some of the best places in the historical center of the city.

Fluid line illustrations are produced by Dina Ruzha for Leonie Swann's latest novel.

Commissioned by Soho Press, Dina crafted 27 interior illustrations for the mystery novel which follows a quirky group of seniors who attempt to solve one murder while covering up another.

Contemporary and fresh, the food-based drawings (and a tortoise!) lead the chapters and provide delightful visual respites within the text.

Dina Ruzha illustrates a culinary feature for January's Phoenix Magazine.

The magazine talks of how one can dine in all the US states without leaving the metropolitan area of Phoenix, so if you're a homesick Texan, you'll be able to find a chicken fried steak, or maybe you’re a Delawarean looking for a Thanksgiving sandwich.

Dina's task was to create fifty black and white food illustrations to each represent a state, with clear and bold lines for a fun, graphic map.
