Erin O'Leary Brown – Designer

Freelance illustrator specializing in children's illustration, animals, and nature themes.

Overview

I am a freelance illustrator based in upstate NY, specializing in children’s illustration as well as botanical and nature themes. I work traditionally in ink and watercolor and utilize digital media to make adjustments and minor changes or additions to the final illustrations. My style combines delicate line and rich layers of color with careful details and a sense of whimsy with the goal of sharing engaging stories as well as beautiful images.


Over the years, I have worked in freelance illustration creating art for books, children’s magazines, tarot cards, and various decorative illustrations for clients such as Llewellyn Worldwide, Scholastic, Herald Press, Perfection Learning Corp., and Cricket Media. I also have experience working directly with authors on self-publishing projects.


I received a BFA in Illustration from Syracuse University, and an MS in Education from Elmira College. In addition to working in the field of illustration, I also have experience teaching art professionally. I am highly organized and detail-oriented, with experience in consistently meeting deadlines. Additionally, I bring a lifetime of developing drawing skills and a deep passion for art and creativity to each project. If you feel my work would be a good fit for your current project, I would love to hear from you.
