"We love to hear about a creative’s latest endeavours over here at It’s Nice That, especially if that update involves one of their favourite commissions to date. Gigi Rose Gray, an artist born and raised in New York City, bedazzled us with her illustrations of women and buildings nearly six years ago. Since then, Dorchester Collection commissioned her to create an illustration for each of their ten hotels. “It was a dream project that had me travelling to five countries,” she tells It’s Nice That, “spending a few nights in each hotel to create the series.”
Not only this, Gigi’s also signed with her first agency, Tiphaine Illustration, and has worked with clients such as Air Canada, Oscar Properties, Departures Magazine, Elle Decor, Oprah Magazine and the Boston Globe. Meanwhile, she’s started producing larger-scale fine art pieces and has exhibited a collection with Christie’s and Voltz Clarke gallery in New York – a project that’s been in works over the course of the last year. “My process for creating illustrations hasn’t evolved much since 2015, but when I began delving into fine art I had to come up with a new technical process,” she tell us of her transition over the years. “I didn’t want it to be too much of an aesthetic departure from my existing work, but wanted to scale up and invite a warmer, more tactile sensibility.”
