Thanks for stopping by!
I'm a multidisciplinary artist, specialising in illustration, visual art, murals and design. I'm currently based in the Gold Coast, Australia, where I probably drink too much coffee and spend more time at the beach than I should.
I'm a multidisciplinary artist, specialising in illustration, visual art, murals and design. I'm currently based in the Gold Coast, Australia, where I probably drink too much coffee and spend more time at the beach than I should.
My practice focusses on illustration and painting following twelve years working in the creative industries across graphic design and branding. I work both traditionally and digitally, blurring the boundaries between illustration and contemporary acrylic techniques. I love exploring colour, depth and texture through large and small-scale work to delight, inspire and challenge broad audiences.
I'm currently illustrating a picture book with Affirm Press, which will be published in October this year, and I've also created art for McSweeney’s, Sydney Writers’ Festival and City of Gold Coast amongst others.
I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting projects and collaborations, so please get in touch via the links below or email me at design@camillemanley.com.au
