Hello! I'm Lily Chase and I'm a children's book illustrator from Salem, Oregon. I create illustrations with a focus on storytelling. What I love about storytelling is connecting with the characters as they struggle, persevere, and grow. When I’m illustrating a scene I want to depict the characters in both their external and internal journeys. My art emphasizes shape, texture, and color. I love to work traditionally by using gouache, embracing the look of human-made brush strokes. In addition to gouache I also use digital mediums, often combining both mediums together. Along with traditional book illustrations I love to utilize the art of animation. I like to add motion to my illustrations to further immerse the viewer.
