Jessica Hillis

Art by Jessica Hillis I am an artist that is committed to the expression of children's thoughts, dreams, and fears. I enjoy working with oil pastels and paints, and I am primarily influenced by artists like Camille Rose Garcia, Gary Baseman, and children's book illustrators like Brett Helquist. One of my favorites is "the Day I Swapped my Dad for two Goldfish" illustrated by Dave McKean. I am primarily interested in illustration because of the story element. All of my images need to describe a story or event. I hope to grow as an artist over the years and make my illustrations closer and closer to the images in my imagination.
