Ahoy! I’m Robyn, a South African author-illustrator and portrait artist working in mixed media. I love creating illustrations that celebrate family, embrace the absurd, and bring a bit of silliness into the world.
A Portrait Service Announcement:
I’ll be taking a break from events and commissions during September 2025. If you email me, I won’t be ignoring you - I’ll just be away from my desk, and will reply with renewed enthusiasm in October.
If you’d like to order a portrait or illustration for Christmas, please get in touch as soon as possible. Orders need to be in by 10th December to make it under the tree in time.

Just for fun: how many Dalmatians can you find hiding around my website?
Testimonials from the lovely people with whom I’ve worked in the past:
“Robyn is a super-talented illustrator. She produced some brilliant design ideas for our festival, listened to the brief well and delivered on time.
I would highly recommend her for any designs you might need. AND will be using her again next year!!”
Ros Johnson - Founder of the Wells Theatre Festival
“Thank you for [our portrait]!
I received it this morning and my wife loves it! It looks amazing. Thank you so much.
I will definitely be recommending you to friends and family!”
J. Beattie
“From our original - rather vague - brief, Robyn produced attractive and versatile illustrations, posters, social media images, and colouring pages, which created a strong identity for our event. We were delighted with the results!”
Helen Mitchell - Children’s Leader at Street Baptist Church
