Aleksandra Szmidt grew up in the south of Poland, earning a degree in Landscape Architecture before journeying to the other side of the world to live in New Zealand. Switching careers more or less upon arrival, she has become an internationally published children's book illustrator. Working from her home studio near to the sea and her favourite beach. Aleksandra has created illustrations for clients such as Scholastic, Hachette, National Geographic Kids, Tony Nelson, Winning Moves, Hallmark, Sourcebooks, Highlights Kids, ArsEdition and more. Adept at both digital and traditional techniques, Aleksandra draws inspiration from the fun and adventures of her own childhood while weaving in layers of magic and humour to her illustrations that are more imagination than reality.
