Remi Reilly

Art has always been my passion and I love bringing an imagination to life. As a Freelance Artist for 22 years, I’ve created illustrations for album covers, personal websites and more. I take care to understand my clients’ needs and deliver a finished product that is compelling to them.

Additionally, I worked for Kaman’s Art Shoppes as a lead portrait artist where I trained new artists to create portraits in a fast-paced environment without compromising quality.

I hold a BA degree in Media Arts with Computing Emphasis from University of California San Diego and learned under some of the finest artists.

My technical skills include proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, as well as familiarity with tablet-based drawing.
