I’m Erin O’Leary Brown, an illustrator based in upstate NY, specializing in children’s illustration as well as botanical and nature themes.  I work traditionally in ink and watercolor, and often utilize digital media to make adjustments and minor changes or additions to the final illustrations.  My style combines delicate line and rich layers of color with careful details and a sense of whimsy with the goal of sharing engaging stories as well as beautiful images. Over the years, I have worked in freelance illustration creating art for various books and children’s magazines, as well as decorative designs, for clients such as Scholastic, Herald Press, Perfection Learning Corp., and Cricket Media. My most recent project is a Christmas-themed tarot deck, The Yuletide Tarot, to be published by Llewellyn Worldwide in 2023. I received a BFA in Illustration from Syracuse University, and an MS in Education from Elmira College.  In addition to working in the field of illustration, I also have experience teaching art professionally.  If you feel my work would be a good fit for your current project, I would love to hear from you.
