Welcome!
I’m Marit, a UK based illustrator specialising in picture books for young readers. I thrive on bringing briefs to life, partnering with clients to shape concepts, curate visual tones, and create illustrations that truly capture the soul of a story and make your project shine.
I work across traditional and digital media. And when the story spills onto fabric, stationery, or product packaging via seamless repeats and placement prints? Absolutely my jam.
What people are saying…
Marit is a real team player
Marit is well organised, reliable and produces high quality artwork to brief and on time.
She helps drive forward the project, showing initiative and imagination in her work, and considers how her illustrations will work within the overall design. Marit is enthusiastic and communicates well, she is a real team player. Her contribution goes above and beyond the norm, and I highly recommend her.
Would recommend without hesitation
Working with Marit as the illustrator of my new children’s book was a dream come true. From the first images she produced it was clear she has a remarkable talent for creating characters brimming with personality. The response to Monstrous Myths’ illustrations has been, without exception, hugely positive. I would recommend Marit Cooper as an illustrator without the slightest hesitation.
Marit is a clearly talented artist
I had the pleasure of working with Marit commissioning two book covers for very different creative products. Marit was flexible in her approach and responsive to my questions and changing requirements. The end products were excellent, and Marit is a clearly talented artist. I have no hesitation in recommending and supporting Marit’s work.
Her creativity shines in her speedy and precise artwork
Working with Marit as the illustrator for Twentyone Olive Trees has been a joy. Her creativity shines in her speedy and precise artwork. She’s not only organized but also consistently meets deadlines. Our collaboration has grown into a heart warming friendship.
I highly recommend Marit as an illustrator; her talent, reliability, and the connection one can forge with her make her an excellent choice.
