Joanna Lisowiec is an illustrator, designer and printmaker originally from Poland who now lives in the UK. She studied illustration at Edinburgh College of Art where she learned print-making and fell in love with the bold, rustic qualities of linocut print. Joanna has developed digital illustration techniques that mimic linocut and engraving, allowing for a traditional aesthetic within a contemporary work flow.
