Bronagh Lee is a visual artist working in illustration, book design, drawing and painting. She graduated from NCAD with a BA Hons in Printmaking in 2016, followed by a course in Graphic Design. Her work is playful, whimsical and fluid, a process she marries with a keenly observed layering of detail. Bronagh mixes a digital and analogue world to create work that explodes with colour, texture and vivid life as though viewed through a softened lens of innocence and childlike joy.
Bronagh has illustrated a number of books such as ‘The Pain in my Chest’ by Áine Murray, ‘The Tree by the Sea” series by Debbie Deegan, and ‘Rosie’s Magic Umbrella’ by Karen Ryan
“Bronagh’s art is imbued with sweet, wise intentions… and remind me of The Hungry Caterpillar, and the dream sequence in Dumbo, and the Madeline books all in one… all the highlights of 90’s illustration”
