About

Heya it is Galice, freelance illustrator travelling across Aotearoa. Background in behavioural science and applied animal research. Worked a few years in hospitality as well. I use my daily inspirations to create illustrations in my own style with a story behind each scene. Whether I’m designing artwork in Procreate or with traditional techniques such as watercolor and ink, I support your ideas and work collectively with the whole team. I am interested in the specificity of your project, to deliver a unique piece using my entire world.
