Margit van der Zwan

Hello! I’m an artist specialising in portraiture and children’s book illustration. I studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art (London, UK) & Arte Sotto un Tetto (Florence, Italy) and now work with art directors, editors and creatives, as well as conjuring up solo projects. My studio is in the North West of England, where I live in a house filled with paintbrushes and musical instruments.

My Work

I collaborate with art directors, editors, and creatives on various projects while also pursuing my own independent work.
