Jacqui Lee
Jacqui Lee’s illustrations are focused on storytelling and are inspired by the world around her. Cityscapes, street scenes, people, animals, and food are all frequent subjects in her illustrations. Her work is fun, cheerful, and aims to bring a smile to people’s faces.
She loves the handmade and textural look of gouache paint, and often carries a sketchbook with her - especially while travelling.
An alumni of the Alberta University of of the Arts (formerly the Alberta College of Art + Design) and from Canada, she now lives in London.
