Aleksandra Szmidt

Having shown our portfolios at the recent book fairs, Aleksandra’s work was a great hit.

Living in New Zealand and working pretty much for most publishers in Australia and New Zealand - I am privileged in representing and  promoting her work here in the UK and Europe within the Artist Partners agency.

This cute little image of her’s created a nice buzz about her work and lots of interest from various publishers.

Aleksandra's work is hugely versatile, and she has  a number of her own working  styles to  choose from -  Recently having finished working on a book : The unicorn Did it - published by Five Mile Publishing written by R.M. McGurk  which is  actually due to be published in June this year - which is a  follow up  book to her previously   successful picture book The Dinosaur Did It …. Written by R.M. McGurk and illustrated by Aleksandra, again published by Five Mile Publishing.
