Gordy Wright is a Scotland based illustrator and printmaker working from his studio in Glasgow. He graduated with a first class degree in illustration from the University of the West of England (UWE) in 2014.

In his illustrations he aims to evoke a natural textured feeling which he paints by hand in gouache and acrylic. He works on a wide range of editorial and publishing projects and enjoys weaving narratives throughout his projects. He loves all things nature themed and likes being outside whether it be exploring the countryside, riding his bicycle or just watching the birds out and about.

Gordy’s clients include Aquila Magazine, Holiday House Publishing, Nosy Crow, Quarto Kids, The Lancet, Walker Books and many more.
