Bio: Giselle Harrington is watercolor painter who paints from life. She also works as an illustrator, primarily of book covers (see examples below), and has been teaching adult painting and drawing since 2018. She has a MFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in NYC (2018), and studied watercolor painting at the Art Students League, also in NYC. She currently lives in Colrain, MA. She grew up in New Hampshire.

Giselle travels and paints along the East Coast and uses her painting practice to explore different regions, getting to know the specific environments, architecture and observable things people do for work and recreation. She considers her painting visual journalism.

Giselle moves frequently and has been a working artist and illustrator in Western Mass., the Boston area, New York City, and Charleston, South Carolina. Below are some book covers by Giselle, made after her graduation from SVA in 2018.

Recently, looking for a home base to set down roots, keep framing and printing equipment and finish illustration projects, she bought a house in Colrain, Massachusetts, which she is currently renovating.

Giselle offers workshops and private lessons. She is available to teach in Western Massachusetts through December 2024 and again in April 2025; and in Charleston, SC area from January 2025 to end of March 2025.
