BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS

Giles' uses a unique technique of "paper relief" to create elaborate collages for children's book illustrations. Every illustration involves drawing, cutting, painting, and gluing. Often, a piece has seven or eight layers. Spacers are placed between each layer to give the final artwork added depth and dimension.

Giclee prints of selected illustrations are now available. Please email Giles for more information.
