About Stephanie Vecellio Illustration

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m an illustrator and designer based in Somerville, MA. Inspired by connecting with the small moments of everyday life, I draw local places from observation. I love to illustrate every detail that makes a place feel like home, from cool trees to messy telephone poles, so that each drawing feels like a whimsical photograph of that specific time and place. My drawings are characterized by free-handed outlines drawn directly onto the paper in pen and colored in bright marker. I’ll draw from anywhere, in rain or shine, from a bench or a curb, standing in a crowd or sitting on a cold rock alone in a forest. Using playful saturation and unexpected color, I seek to find the heart, joy, and nostalgia in the places and objects we look at every day. I hope you find your favorite place in my drawings!
