About Me
Hello! I have been a professional illustrator for about ten years now and have a strong history in fine arts, having attended art classes since before I could read. I studied Graphic Design and then worked in a design agency for one year before deciding to take the plunge and completely focus on my love for illustration instead.
I specialise in hand painted children\'s book illustration, and also have experience in digital illustration, logo design, type setting, desktop publishing, traditional graphic processes, and figurative painting and drawing.
Areas covered: London, UK, South Africa

Job Reviews on PPH
by Ken A on 25 Mar 2010
The quality of Magriet's illustrative work and hand colouring is stunning, very imaginative and exciting. When you see your concept work go from rough art work to the finished product her work and dedication is the very best you could ever want. Her quotions was very detailed, so you understand what you are do right from the start. She is a fantastic person, polite and always helpful to get everything the way you really want or could expect, nothing was to much trouble or effort. I not only recommend and endorse Magriet, we will use her skills and services again in the future.
