Hi there! I'm Gabriella Galvez, an illustrator based in Montreal, Quebec, with a whimsical touch in my art that captures the wonder of childhood moments. Growing up in British Columbia, I immersed myself in fantasy worlds, which now influences my vibrant illustrations filled with memorable characters and bright colors. Working digitally in Photoshop allows me to play with textures and light, adding that dash of magic to each piece.

In my journey as an illustrator, I've found my superpower in capturing emotions through facial expressions, color palettes, and engaging perspectives. Clients appreciate the hidden details I weave into my work, adding texture and depth to every page. With a BFA from Emily Carr University and a background in UX/UI design, I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical skill to my illustrations, making them marketable across various styles of books.

My Scandinavian heritage deeply inspires me, infusing my art with a timeless and playful sophistication. Beyond art, I love exploring quirky neighbourhoods and hidden gems with my husband, drawing inspiration from everyday experiences. Ultimately, I hope to be remembered as a whimsical soul who believed in the power of imagination to shape a better tomorrow. With my golden retriever, Summer, and ragdoll cat, Clara, by my side, I continue to infuse my life and art with empathy, creativity, and a quiet hopefulness that lights up every project I undertake.
