Hi, I’m Gabriella, an illustrator and surface pattern designer based in Montreal, Quebec. I create playful, vibrant artwork for a variety of products, including fabric, wallpaper, and children's books.
 

I grew up on the shores of British Columbia, where I spent countless hours dreaming of hidden fairy worlds, swimming with mermaid friends in the ocean, and pouring everything into my sketchbook along the way - hoping that I would never have to grow up like Peter Pan.

 

I seek to capture that simple wonder in childhood moments in my illustrations. My style embraces bright colours, memorable characters, and always, a dash of whimsy.

​​

I recieved my BFA in Illustration from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in 2013, and since then, I’ve had the pleasure of creating best-selling designs for clients like Pehr and Anewall, and see my work featured in well-known brands like Anthropologie, IKEA, and Harrods. I'm proud to be represented by Advocate Art and excited to share new book projects with you in the coming year. 

I'd love to hear your story! Feel free to reach out at hello@gabriellagalvez.com.
