Illustrator in Cape Town, South Africa
Lizza Littlewort is an illustrator in Cape Town, South Africa. She specialises in educational and children's book illustration. I utilise traditional graphic mediums such as pen, ink, and watercolour, combined with digital tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Lizza Littlewort trained in educational illustration by working in a collaboration with Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro) for three years creating educational media. She went on to illustrate many school books and children's books, working closely with author Bridget Pitt in a collaboration where they laid out and illustrated books written by Bridget, thus ensuring that there was maximum clarity given to the educational messages in the text.
She has since gone on to work as a fine artist, critiquing conventional history through reworking of Old Dutch Masters paintings and styles, thus creating a layering of insight and irony built into the very use of paint itself. Her current focus is the historical arc that connects imperialism through global industrialisation to climate change. See her art at lizzalittlewort.co.za
