Zoë Ellison is an illustrator specializing in children’s books, food, and puzzles. Living in London, she loves to explore the magic in the ordinary day to day, and capture the atmosphere of a special place or moment . Working primarily in colored pencils and pens, Zoë loves adding detail and textures to every corner of her work.

She studied at Cambridge School of Art, graduating with an MA in Children’s Book Illustration in 2020. It was there that she developed a love of observational drawing, something which she now does every day. When not illustrating, Zoë loves following her football team Sheffield United, listening to Bruce Springsteen, and spending time with friends, family, and her cat.

Zoë’s clients include Elena Essex, Once Upon a Puzzle, the Natural History Museum, Chelsea Winter Village, and more.
