About the artist
C.J. Ellison
C.J. (Chandler) Ellison is a digital artist, illustrator, and designer. Her illustrative work has been described as ethereal with distinct brushmarks and is inspired by her deep connection to the wonder and mystery of the natural world.
She has worked both in-studio and remotely as a freelance illustrator and product designer. Her illustrations have been found in places like the cover of the U.S. Chess Federation’s Chess Life Kids magazine and promoting the Arctic Institute’s Migration in Harmony initiative. As a designer, she’s worked on close to 60 different product lines including licensed toys for Jurassic World, and the Pickle Designer for Cepia’s Cats Vs. Pickles. She is known previously for hosting Schoolism webinars and online events for LightBox Expo.

When not creating art, C.J. loves to be outdoors, volunteers for conservation efforts, and plays the bagpipes (or attempts to!)
