I’m Aga Grandowicz, a Polish-born wildlife illustrator and natural history artist based in Dublin, Ireland. After more than twenty years working as an Art Director and Graphic Designer for businesses, advertising agencies and design studios (you can explore my earlier work at agrand.ie), I turned my focus towards my lifelong passion for wildlife and nature.
Having made Ireland my home twenty years ago, I now draw my way through its wildlife, creating work that makes Irish biodiversity beautiful, accessible and impossible to ignore.
My work spans wildlife illustration, books, biodiversity publications, educational resources, interpretation boards, murals and conservation projects. Combining traditional drawing techniques with careful research, I portray the beauty and character of individual species while encouraging a closer understanding of the natural world.
My background in design, publishing and creative direction brings another dimension to this work. It allows me to combine considered visual storytelling with illustration, helping publishers, organisations and conservation projects communicate ideas clearly, engage audiences and make nature matter.
