Viviane Schwarz
Illustrator
Viviane Schwarz makes books, comics and games.
She was born in Germany and now lives and works in Croydon, London.
As a child Viviane spent a lot of her time inventing and making things with her family. She developed a strong interest in science and technology as well as traditional methods and crafts. Her mother is an author and editor of primary school textbooks, and she began to learn how to teach art and literacy by assisting her from an early age.
After reading American Literature and Linguistics at Bonn University, Viviane moved to England where she studied illustration and now hold a Master’s degree in Authorial Illustration from Falmouth College of Arts.
Viviane has written and/or illustrated more than a dozen picture books and a graphic novel. My books have been translated and published internationally and won awards, including two shortlistings for the CILIP Kate Greenaway, winner of the 2016 Little Rebels Award and an IBBY Honour List nomination for illustration in 2018.
