My name is Rachel Perciphone (she/her) and I love to illustrate strong, diverse characters within fantastical and colorful worlds for book covers and work in publishing. I am most heavily inspired by mythology, fairytales, folklore, and fantasy. I also find a lot of inspiration in music and nature, as well as comics and science fiction. The foundation of my work begins with a detailed pencil drawing and I use a mix of digital and traditional media to paint the finished piece. I use symbolism, shape, and supernatural elements to explore narratives and showcase the idea that beauty and inner strength is both multifaceted and plentiful. I am available for freelance work, primarily in YA/middle grade publishing or any opportunities related to themes of fantasy, mythology, and fairytales.
