Elizabeth Lamb Székely

Hi, I’m Lizzie — an internationally published illustrator and artist based in Melbourne, Australia.

For more than 20 years, I’ve been creating thoughtful, considered illustration for publishers, brands and commercial clients. I love creating artwork that has a sense of story and personality, whether it’s for a children’s book, a psychology publication, an animation project, packaging, a licensed product or a brand collaboration.

One of the highlights of my career has been being recently featured in Chanel Illustrated, a Chanel-authorised coffee table art book  showcasing 24 international fashion illustrators. I have also created artwork for a Taylor Swift calendar published in Germany, alongside illustration work for publishing, editorial, beauty and fashion brands.

My work combines traditional watercolour, ink, drawing and collage with digital techniques. I’m particularly drawn to vintage aesthetics, fashion, beauty, travel, folklore and storytelling, but enjoy exploring a broad range of subjects and creative briefs.

I also have experience creating illustration for animation and have illustrated a series of psychology books, where the focus was on creating imagery that was thoughtful, meaningful and able to communicate ideas in an accessible and engaging way.

I’m always interested in connecting with publishers, art directors, licensing agents, animation studios, creative agencies and brands looking for original, beautifully crafted illustration.
