Inspired by Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, and Edward Gorey, Chamillard’s illustrations make for a soothing, meditative effect. With a BFA in Painting and Drawing from The University of Arizona, he operates a drawing and bookmaking studio in Tucson, AZ, where he has lived for eighteen years.

“I work during the day, so on weekdays I generally start drawing around 8 pm, and work for 2-3 hours,” he relayed in an interview with Faithwaites. “Weekends provide more daytime hours, and I draw quickly, so I’m able to produce a lot of finished work. I find it helpful to have small sketchbooks with me, so I can work out ideas and sketches if I’m on the phone at work, in a meeting, etc. This time also includes finding shows, preparing works for exhibition, documenting, etc.”

“I love making art,” he says, “so I find it easy to motivate myself – it’s something I always want more time to do. I also draw and make art every day, and I think that having a daily practice is a natural motivator, as well. I have a day job, and I’m a busy parent, so it’s not always easy, but for me, a lot of the drive to make art comes from the process of making art.”
