Meet Clairice Gifford and see why she’s asked to illustrate so many book covers. Studio sneak peek.
Today, we’re delighted to present a number of stellar pieces by our artist Clairice Gifford, a master of illustrated typography and a brilliant colorist.
Understandably, she is often commissioned to create sensational solutions for magazine spreads, book covers, greeting cards, fabric collections, and even cookie packaging.
Clairice’s clients include Clarkson Potter, Editions Auzou, Papyrus, Real Simple Magazine, Workman Publishing, The Boston Globe Magazine, and plenty more.

“I especially love vintage lettering and designs, traveling and textiles. Besides art, I enjoy good food, books, interesting podcasts and traveling when I get the chance.”
