ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hi! I'm Becky Gehrisch. I am a portrait artist and illustrator. I enjoy working with colored pencils, acrylic paints and chalk pastels.  Portraits of pets or people are particularly rewarding. The best part is a client’s reaction to my work.  My illustrations are influenced by my own childhood, my children’s perspective, and the countryside where I live.

I’m active in the local children’s book community, serving as the Assistant Illustrator Coordinator for the Central and Southern Ohio SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators).

Thank you for taking a moment to explore my art.
