About + CONTACT

Giselle is an illustrator and watercolor painter based in Charleston, SC and Shelburne, MA. She studied Illustration at the School of Visual Arts where she obtained her MFA in 2018, and additionally studied painting and drawing at the Art Students League in New York.

Giselle paints watercolor en plein air almost every day in an effort to push the medium to its greatest potential. Beyond creating beautiful watercolor paintings, Giselle is interested in observing and recording the way people live and respond to their environments, cultures and moment in history. She assembles sketches from life which are then sometimes finished or turned into new pieces in her studio.

Giselle’s illustration work includes books and book covers, labels, and editorial illustrations. She also does watercolor portraits.

Giselle has been teaching painting and drawing since 2018.
