A selection of editorial and poster work by St. Louis-born illustrator and educator Racheal Bruce. Bruce earned her MFA in Illustration and Visual Culture at Washington University and is the Assistant Professor in Illustration at Webster University. She specializes in book illustration and editorial illustration. Her work imbues the feeling that a fantastical unreality could exist in our physical world, with all of the whimsy and eeriness that comes with it. She’s interested in how an audience interacts with their own feelings of superstition.
