Annabel Keijzer (1980) is a painter, illustrator and graphic designer based in Amsterdam. Keijzers artworks are explorations of ideas, colors and associations in her mind. She uses these as a creative library for her book cover designs and for commissioned work in both the worlds of art and communication.
