Artist: Jessica McGuirl

A smiling woman with short auburn hair stands in front of a white wall covered with colorful printed cards, swatches, and small artwork. She is wearing a mustard yellow cardigan over a black top with a small white pattern.

Jessica is a Rhode Island based Illustrator and lettering artist. She was born and raised in Maryland before moving to an even smaller state to attend the Rhode Island School of Design. After graduating with a BFA in Illustration she worked on tv/film, designed toy packages, and studied abroad in Japan before deciding to pursue freelance Illustration.

Her time working in different industries and living abroad resulted in her desire to create maps and other illustrations inspired by nature, food and exploration. Since then her artwork has appeared in magazines, on puzzles, packaging and stationery. Her work often features quirky lettering and bright color palettes.
