Kelsey Zigmund ’14, Illustration

April 6, 2014

I believe our visual culture is moving towards an emphasis on personalization and customization. The imagery I include in my artwork celebrates the music, fashion, and culture that I personally value and enjoy. I find happiness through drawing and invention and seek to communicate those feelings through my own visual language. I approach my illustration with a need to translate both a cultural concept and set of emotions.

My subject matter and media vary from editorial to children’s work to product design. I am excited by the spontaneity that the illustration field demands, and constant variety of creative problems that must be solved through pictures. Stylistically, I aim to create work with an energetic, playful spirit, and that displays a hand-drawn aesthetic, that is rooted in traditional materials.
