Hi, I’m Gillian, and I’m an illustrator focused on poster and book cover design. In my work, I like to play with shape and color, pushing the boundaries of whimsy and color with just a touch of elegance. My goal is to push my artwork into the plausible impossible, expand the minds of my audience and tug at the emotions inside of us all. I believe that with each dip and swoop of a brush on canvas, be it digital or cotton, a vision is realized; I strive to turn these visions into little stories on their own, and hope to weave design into these tales of hues.
