About
Zofia is a Polish illustrator based in Scotland who specializes in bold, playful designs, full of incidental shapes, wobbly lines, and self-made textures. Her work is created by mixing drawing, printmaking, and digital techniques. She draws her inspiration from ordinary, day-to-day happenings. Zofia’s illustrations always aim to feature a diverse range of people, places, communities, and cultures, which celebrates the different characters and personalities she meets when in the gathering stages.
