Kate Pugsley is a Chicago-based illustrator, painter, and surface designer. She earned her BFA in illustration at RISD and has worked with clients like The New York Times, Tiffany & Co., Frankie Magazine, Bloomsbury Publishing, etc.

She always favored drawing and painting, even when she was a kid, and decided to make it a career one day. “My understanding of adult life and work was really limited, but I couldn’t imagine doing anything else as a career,” Pugsley said for Freelance Wisdom.

“Although I studied illustration at RISD, my early work after school was closer to fine art; I mostly worked with oil paint and presented work in some gallery shows. I had a few different day jobs while painting nights and weekends. I finally decided a few years after college that illustration was what I really wanted to do, so I made it happen.”

Sounds simple enough, right? We’re sure it took a lot of dedication and effort but the result is well worth it. Check out her work below.
