About the Illustrator

Ivy Trazsi is an international illustrator and fine artist working digitally, as well as with messy paints. Her style is joyfully dictated by bright colours and lots of textures from nature, combined with abstract elements. The foundation of her style lies in her rich childhood memories, travels and endless imagination.


She grew up in a tiny village surrounded by wildlife. As a child, Ivy drew and painted on every surface: the brick walls of her family home, snail shells, and once she even attempted to colour the wind.

Later, Ivy moved away and lived in multiple countries but her love for nature and colours never changed. Together with her husband, they are raising their children with the intention of being curious and having an open mind for magical stories in their everyday lives.
