New Artist: Grace J. Kim
Join us in welcoming @gracej.kim to the Jacky Winter roster! ✨
A Korean-Canadian illustrator currently based in New York, Grace approaches illustrations with an interest in capturing not just how a place looks, but how it feels. Her images feel familiar and emotionally resonant, like scenes from a memory. When describing her style, Grace says, “I think carefully about texture, temperature, wind, light, and small emotional details to make each illustration feel immersive. Most of my work is created with the hope of offering viewers a brief moment of peace.”

Reconnecting with our creativity in challenging times ft. Aubrey & Jeremy
Off the back of Aubrey’s recent Dear Jacky article “How do I stay creative when it feels like the world is falling apart?”, Aubrey and Jeremy chat about reconnecting with creativity and reflect on the challenges of “slowing down” in a competitive environment.
On that note, we're off the touch some grass. See you next time! ☘️
