Maria Herbert-Liew, Illustration Artist

Hello! My name is Maria Herbert-Liew and I am a freelance illustrator based in Glasgow. I work with publishers, designers and art directors to bring visual ideas to life.

I love to draw people, nature and fun! I've recently been working on a set of illustrated dictionaries and thesauruses for children with HarperCollins. Have a look in my portfolio to see more.

I also keep a BLOG if you want to find out what I've been up to lately.

- A little more about me -

I studied Fine Art & Art History at Goldsmiths College, then went on to do a MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art.

I believe that art has the power to transform, and it is for everyone! Illustration is a truly accessible and communicative form of art, and I think it is one of the greatest there is.
