Gabriella Wilde is an illustrator from Wales,
Who creates modern twists on traditional tales.
She loves to add humour in a way that’s satirical,
Accompanied by text which is most likely lyrical!
With black sketchy biro lines and faces flushed pink,
She creates combined artworks that really make you think:
These stories don’t make sense, our online lives too-
Some of our priorities are completely askew!
She explores facial expressions, and distinct compositions,
And is readily poised to receive your commissions!
