Kelsey Garrity-Riley

I am an illustrator currently living in Bucks County Pennsylvania. My Childhood spent in Belgium and Germany as well as my education at the Savannah College of Art and Design and time spent living in New York have all influenced my work. My favorite work to create is for Children's Books as well as wrapping paper pattern and card design ( mostly for the wonderful Red Cap Cards.)
I love using a mix of gouache with collage and colored pencil and ink in my work. I enjoy finding ways to make work feel personal to create- often inspired by childhood memories and nostalgia for exploring nature. I love getting to create collaborate work with different authors and publishing houses, but I have an endless list of ideas for Children's Books I want to write and illustrate as well.
A selection of my illustrated books include: Other Wordly (written by Yee-Lum Mak), You Are A Beautiful Beginning (Written by Nina Laden), Bicycle Face (written by Larissa Theule), My Little Brave Girl (Written by Hilary Duff) and Frankies Favorite Food (Written by me!)
