She’s one of the young masters of illustration in America today. I’m pretty sure she knows more about using different shades of color together than anyone else on earth. Her concepts for her work combine perfectly with the depth and layers she draws to drop you into a different universe of her creation. All of her art seems immersive, like you’re going to get lost in it, like there’s no way it’s on a flat screen or piece of paper. Her illustration style is immediately recognizable, with lines and shadows that create some of the deepest and most vivid worlds that you could imagine. I’ve known Rosemary Valero-O’Connell and her work for a few years now, and I’m really excited that I get to talk about her to you before I leave Autostraddle.
