Debbie Maizels

30 years' experience in the research and creation of original illustrations for publishing and academic clients worldwide in all fields of life, veterinary, medical and earth sciences. I am passionate about making scientific information accessible in a visually interesting, original and stimulating way whilst maintaining 100% accuracy.

Special interests include biology, molecular and cell biology, veterinary and medical science, zoology, botany, ecology and palaeontology.
My first degree was a BSc Jt Hons in Botany and Zoology (1990) followed by a BA Hons in Scientific Illustration (1994). From 2000-2005 I held a part-time position at Nature Publishing Group, London as an in-house scientific illustrator and I continue to freelance for them now amongst many other clients in the UK, US and Europe. In 2002 I was awarded a 1-year artists’ residency at the Grant Museum of Zoology, University College London. In 1993 I had an internship at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. In 2015 I was awarded the Pat Archer Award for my entry in the MAA exhibition of members’ work.

Please contact me if you are interested in commissioning me in any area of science or medicine and I will be very happy to discuss your requirements.
