Maddy Gibbs is an illustrator whose work is defined by a distinctly whimsical and delicate sensibility. Drawing from an eclectic mix of cultural influences, ranging from television and literature to advertising and film, she transforms the imagery that captivates her into richly imaginative visual worlds. Her interests and color palette are self described as “girly” and are delightfully expansive: princesses and hair care rituals, ladybugs and unicorns, rubber duckies, milkshakes, poodles, and countless others, each reinterpreted with vibrancy and intention.

Born in Minnesota and now based in Portland, Maddy continues to develop a visual language that is both playful and sophisticated, inviting viewers into the boundless landscape of her imagination.
