Jeannie Phan
Jeannie Phan is an award winning freelance illustrator based in Toronto but originally from the prairies of Canada. Noted for her editorial work using vibrant colors and clever concepts, she’s also known for depicting the calming, more reserved parts of everyday life using demure characters and atmospheres. When Phan does not have a pen in hand, she’s busy getting dirty in her urban garden or petting cats.
