Hi, I'm Elle Gilson,
and I'm an illustrator.
I specialize in children’s illustrations, but my work brings joy to everyone, big and small.
About Me
- After graduating from St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, I was accepted to University of New Brunswick for doctoral studies in Clinical Psychology.
- I took one year to travel before attending, which is when I discovered the world of illustration.
- Since then, I have been honing my craft by designing stickers for a family-run sticker company.
My art is playful.
I believe in creating artwork that brings viewers warmth and comfort, even on rainy days.
My art is educational.
My art serves as a catalyst for learning, making educational content vibrant and engaging.
My art is good for you.
My art is well-rounded, emphasizing diversity in style and advocating for a balanced lifestyle.
Additional Samples
More than anything, my art takes a lot of courage.
Choosing illustration over academia has taught me that just because a path may be good, it does not mean that path is the best one for you.
I'd love to hear from you
