Aleksandra Szmidt
Aleksandra Szmidt creates illustrations characterised by emotion, tenderness and a quiet sense of storytelling. Originally from Poland and now based in New Zealand, she works primarily with traditional media including watercolour, paint and crayon.
Her soft, atmospheric imagery combines gentle humour with a strong emotional connection. Nature, seasonal colour and everyday moments provide inspiration, while her simple, expressive compositions capture feelings that linger beyond the image itself.
Aleksandra's work has a warmth and authenticity that resonates particularly well with the greeting card market, where her illustrations can express a wide range of heartfelt messages. Yellow House represents Aleksandra for licensing, with her work also offering potential for stationery, giftware, puzzles and other paper-based products.
