We talk to illustrator and designer Kiersten Eagan about what keeps her inspired and how she channels her creativity.
Vancouver based designer Kiersten Eagan loves using her art to tell stories. Since graduating with a BFA in Illustration she has put her name to some well known children’s shows including Mr. Peabody and Sherman, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. At the moment she is working as a background and color artist on the Netflix show My Little Pony. Kiersten’s favorite projects to work on are ones where she can collaborate with other artists and learn and grow from the experience. When she is not working she spends as much time outside as she can, traveling to new places, or spending time with family and friends…
2dartist: Hi Kiersten, thanks for talking to 2dartist! Could you start by introducing yourself a bit to the readers?
Kiersten Eagan: Hi! Thanks so much for having me! I am an illustrator based in Vancouver, Canada, with a passion for storytelling. I currently work as a designer for television, and work freelance on children’s books as well as a variety of other side projects. I love finding inspiration and stories to tell from my travels whenever I can. When I was growing up we moved around a lot and lived in some very rural settings; this gave me a lot of time to myself so I became a keen observer of life, exploring within my imagination, which has lent itself well to life as an artist. I love working in a field that allows me to channel my curiosity for life in a creative way!
2da: Your works have a really bold style with bright colors. Do you have any tips for readers who want to recreate this in their own work?
