About me

@hannahgillinghamm

Hannah Gillingham is a commercial artist and illustrator, based in Berkshire, UK.
Telling rich stories by merging realism with the surreal and cinematic, she incorporates dreamlike, ethereal elements that craft emotional connection and atmosphere. Working across multiple mediums, she blends traditional hand-drawn and painted techniques with digital illustration.
An ongoing theme is portraiture, which is fuelled by her love of people, where she captures character, personality, and emotion with remarkable depth. She excels at creating scenes that feel real enough to believe but strange enough to captivate, exploring concepts, colour, and composition to distil visual ideas to their core.

Her work has attracted commissions from major global brands including Apple, Disney, Lucasfilm, Marvel, 20th Century Studios, Universal Pictures, and Spotify, and has been featured in exhibitions across the UK and United States. She also been recognised by American Illustration (AI-AP) and Booooooom Illustration Awards.

She is advised, supported and protected as a member of The Association of Illustrators.

She is also proudly represented worldwide by Jelly in London.
