Children's Book Illustration

February 24, 2015 Meredith Gillespie

I have been working on some illustrations for a children's book recently. The author is wading through the publishing process so this is just a sneak peek of what hopefully will turn into a full book. This is a mock up of the cover…..It is about a Christian children's story with a cat as the main character!

I am a classically trained artist whose work is held in private collections around the country. My artistic career began as a medical illustrator in 2003. After spending ten years focused on the fast-paced med-legal illustration world, I rekindled my lifelong passion for creative art in 2013 when I began creating custom works for a variety of clients. Pet portraits quickly became a popular item for clients. In addition to these paintings, my range includes a wide variety of animal drawings, rural landscapes and extensive studies of the human figure.
