Hello and thanks for stopping by, I’m Galia, an illustrator and a designer from Tel Aviv, Israel
Ever since I can remember I had to express feelings, thoughts and ideas through the creation of visual images. As a child all I wanted to do was draw and spend as much time as possible creating my own imaginary worlds - This is actually true until today :)
At the age of twenty, I moved to NYC to study fine art Printmaking at the Art Students League of NY. I then traveled to New Mexico to study traditional Lithography and after a decade away from home, returned to Israel and completed a degree in Graphic design..
As a graphic designer I worked with a wide range of costumers, first as a full time employee and then as freelancer.
Since 2018 I focus on illustration and love every second of it. In my work I combine traditional collage, using handmade & ready made papers, with digital techniques. I’m inspired by anything vintage - printmaking, graphic design and fabrics as well as great 20th century masters. I enjoy a playful working process that allows happy accidents to happen and love to be surprised by an unexpected outcome.
When not working at my home studio, i can be found running around with my kids at the playground, or reading them books with my favorite illustrations
I’m always interested in new projects and available for collaboration and art licensing. So If you have anything in mind, feel free to contact me.
